Greetings From the Critique Club!!!

Initial Impact: Not very lively

Does it Fit the Challenge: Without a doubt. You not only met it once but twice. That a bit of a treat for us viewers.

Focus: The focus is good in this shot. The birds the water and the posts all seem to be in focus. To be honest I can't even find the point of focus (not that thats a bad thing)

Color: I feel that this is to pretty a shot to have such melow colors. I feel this shot would have done a world better if it were brighter and had more vibrrant colors.

Composition: The composition looks pretty good and works as is. I am however wondering if by cropping a little of the water off the top and bottom would help pop the subject into the spotlight a little better. I also feel a little border could have helped.

Overall: I feel this has the potential to be a spectacular shot. With just a little playing around with the levels and a little cop. I think this was a good shhot the just scored low because to me it looks unfinished. If you do decide to play around with the few sugestions I had I would absolutaly love to see the finished product.

Nice photo. This could have be brightened just a bit using levels.

Nice composition - and the three pier posts top it off. I'd like to see a tad more focus or sharpness, but have no right suggesting something that I myself have trouble with :-)
Anyway, nice shot- 6
