Composition seems a little off to me. Not sure why though! Maybe a bit more cropping from the top left?

Nice photo though but a little too dark, ie: not enough contrast/underexposed.

Comment by mycelium:
The color treatment in this image is very attractive - it's understated without being underdone or looking washed out. The elements of this picture hold together well; the lake is well placed, as is the tree in the lower right foreground.

I gave this a 6 during the challenge - and I would have given it higher marks if it were just a bit sharper. May I suggest another pass of USM at, say, 0.4 radius, 70%, 0 threshold? I'd really be interested in seeing this touched up just a bit.

edit- I just threw this into photoshop myself to see what'd happen if I applied my own suggestion. What I wound up with was duplicating the image layer, and using 0.4, 100%, 0 threshold, and then masking off the sky and the tree in the LL. The difference is subtle but IMO significant.

Like the simplicity of this, and the glowy flares MAKE the shot. Nice job. Hope it does well for you.

Nice detail and focus on this macro. Great use of DOF to isolate the hand and crayons. Maybe more lighting to remove the shawdows under the hand would have helped?
