I like that zoom effect especially when paired with the yellows and oranges. It implies that the colors of autumn are 'zooming' in on the leaves in the center - soon the colors will change and Fall will be here. You have a good foundation but I think it still needs a bit of work to make the composition resonate even stronger. First off, the colors are a bit dark had they been more bold and vibrant yellows and oranges it would project the idea even stronger. Perhaps time of day to get better colors or enhance in PP would get those hues. Second, the branch with leaves in the center could be sharper in focus & detail. I'm guessing that this was taken without a tripod to keep the focal point rocky steady. Recommendation is to steady the camera on something that will not move during the shot or have a tripod handy.

You have some beautiful tones of oranges, golds, and greens in the leaves. That is the composition's strength and the I feel the area you should play up. As it stands now the main focus gets lost with too much empty space of the trees on the opposite bank and the less than flattering color of the river. My suggestion is to zoom in closer to those Autumn leaves and if you want to still show a portion of the river perhaps (provided you had the time to do so) a different time or day when it would reflect more of the sky or be less cloudy brown.

To me this speaks of boating on the river has ended for the season. Fall leaves lay scattered on the shore (ground) while the boats lay 'beached' til the season turns warm once again. The weathered window reflects back the rust/brown hues of Autumn.

Those pretty and delicate blue flowers look like bells ringing in Spring:-) There are some nice details on the petals. Two suggestions I have that could improve the composition are cropping closer to bring your audience even closer to the beauty of these flowers and a higher aperture with faster shutter to further eliminate some/all of those blown highlights on the petals.

They are soooo cute! Love the details and the great catchlights caught in these little ducklings eyes. Wonderful detail of the soft down on their bodies - I can almost reach out and feel the softness. My one suggestion is that I think that the composition would be even better if you cropped closer to bring your audience closer to those super cute duckling and trim away a bit more of that concrete ground that is just empty space.

Wow, what a great capture of momma and baby! Some great detail and texture in their feathers/fluff. Very cute - projects the idea of spring being the time of renewal and birth of little ones.

Beautiful light that showcased these flowers and great detail. Very much captures the springtime feeling. Boy do these flowers bring back memories of childhood. I remember picking them when they were in bloom in our backyard. Don't know what they are called but they were very pretty.

Slender is EVERYWHERE! Running or hiding will- not - help! My kids and I have played this game and you know, for such a simple game it is so darn stressful the more pages you get:-) Great capture of Slender and the lighting in the playground makes this all the more spooky and eerie.

Oh, that is soooo WRONG! But it did make me laugh - that horse headed executive in the suit's open mouth expression of surprise is hysterical.

You know those Dos Equis radio commercials are entertaining and funny. You've put a great and ROFL spin to it. Love the motion blur and that absolute brickable smile (you know that smug smile that sometimes people flash at you that you wish you had a brick) on the annoying driver just makes this a great Meme. Hope to see this in the top 5.
