Comment by Kivet:
lighting should be on the flowers, the clouds totally outshine them because they are so much brighter.

A landscape, not really a still life. Maybe if the flowers had been lit I might think of it as a still life instead of a landscape.

The lighting and composition could be improved, I think. Also, I don't think it reflects the "still life" theme very well. Pretty, though.

a bit more light on the flowers would have been nice, but I like the framing of the trees

This does not meet the challenge - inanimate but not an arranged composition of objects.

I gave this photo a 1 because it didn't seem to me to fulfill my expectation of a "still life," a classic form of artfully arranged objects. Call me narrow minded but that's the way I see it. Nevertheless, it is a lovely photo.

Sorry, I do not feel this meets the challenge.

:: Hello from the Critique Club ::

For starters you have a dramatic subject. It's a dynamic structure and your angle shows it off well. It's a shame you couldn't have got ther earlier/later to catch some sun glints on the arch which would help separate it from that distracting background. Alternatively, if you were crazy enough you could have taken a powerful torch and 'light-painted' it with that.

The shot is a tad skewed down to the right too, but it's a subtle flaw.

I can't help thinking that perhaps there's a more impressive angle at closer range looking up, but you would have to forsake the footbridge to get all of the arch and vice-versa.

Hope this helps.

Cheers

Neat bridge, but background is too busy. Is any angle against trees or open water to make it the star of the picture?

Not bad, but it lacks a certain element of definition that would make it jump out of the page.
