I think the DoF is too shallow. Most of the seeds flying away are beyond the focal plane which makes them seem to be part of the background instead of the subject.

I like this photo, but you went a little overboard with the processing for my taste.

Over processed for my taste. The perspective brings interest but I can't get past the processing.

Nicely oversaturated, monumental perspective, dreamy clouds. Let it be known that I called it! Blue Ribbon.

I'm not a big fan of extreme post processing. Maybe I just don't have the imagination to understand what you you were trying to accomplish here.

Hello from the Critique Club!

This is a great example of how to contol your Depth of Field. This would be a great shot to use in a turtorial explaining how your aperture setting can produce this effect. However, I believe that this one technical aspect is not enough to leave a lasting impression on a viewer.

I think that the dull lighting is what hurts this picture the most. The bluish tint gives this a dreary feeling, like it is an overcast day and that it may be about to rain. Adjusting the white balance some would brighten this up and have a dramatic impact of the overall mood.

I wonder how many people saw the spider? :-)
