Just a suggestion for everyone. I done my critique and also put it in the comments on the photo. Maybe everyone should do this so when someone looks at the photo they can see the self critique and maybe put a link to the thread in the comment also.

I was using my old Kodak DX4530 when I took this picture of a moth visiting inside my home.. I loved his colors and designs in the wings. The antennas had a fuzzy look to them and since it was a different subject I did some experimenting...I tried 2 different lights and a flash with several sheets of paper for all of the shots I took...
But this one I used flash, I think I set it on redeye reduction. I had a lamp with a shade on it about a 60 watt bulb sitting overtop of the subject.. The flash and light is defanetly what I dont like about this. It makes the shadows to dark and it takes away from showing the interest on the moth. There is a blur to it that I dont like to much and I think that it was a result from not using a tripod. I do like the way the center has focus but its not enough...The paper that I used has a bad affect to it for texture... I would defanetly change it as well but the color I dont mind and it beats being plain white...(not that white is bad or anything)...And the last thing that I could pick out that really is not so bad but yet could of made it better is the angle of the moth...I defanetly could of used a little more left and overtop of the critter...

You know, this is harder than it looks.
This photo is one of the earliest that I took with my coolpix3100.
What I like: the colors and the reflection of the trees, I also like the way you can still see some of the log underwater.
What I don't like: the composition is weak. The log is not sharp above the surface of the water.
The fix: apply unsharp mask to the log.
The composition fix is a little harder. This was taken from a standing position, looking down on the log I think perhaps, if I had lowered my camera down closer to the surface of the water and/or obeyed the rule of thirds.

As mine is on sale as a print I'm not sure I want to draw everyone's attentions to all the weaknesses in mine! There's a chance it might decide someone that they don't like it enough to buy after all! :o)

Thanks Ron for choosing a pic and yes I am replying after a really long time, but the last few days were really busy :(
so as for the photograph,
I was trying to get a pic with one source of light, dark shadows ( basically only hafl face seen) but still be able to get both eyes well lighted. Now let's see what I missed or I don't like about this pic.
The most distracting part is the blown out highlights on forehead and some on left cheek. This is because of using very harsh lighting and I should try to use more diffused light. Expression is not exactly what I had in mind. I think the problem I face with photographing people is that I am not able to convey to the subject what I want to see. I believe its a photographer's responsibility to bring out the emotion/expression and I seriously lack this.
I need to learn a lot before I can get good people shots :)
