Critique Club Comment
I think it would be obvious to anyone who looked at this photo for more than two seconds that you did meet the challenge. I wonder, however, how many people did not look for that long and only saw a line of contiguous trees.
I like how you flipped it so that the reflection would be at the top. The leaf (I think it's a leaf) also helps draw us to the "reflection" idea, but it unfortunately is not in a place within the frame that draws the eye in a flowing fashion, rather it distracts a little (if that makes sense).
I agree with the comments that say that this is too busy. But I do like the detail that you've shown. Perhaps darkening the edges and blurring them a bit, and maybe lightening the center (bottom rightish) area some, would help us to focus on one part of the image rather than all parts. |
