If that black spot were on the left big toe these could be my own feet! The real contrast is between the feet and the stones, which works wonderfully, but i really don't like the big cut-off shadow.

Your photograph suffers from lack of a focal point and generally being small. I think this would've been an intriguing macro had more of the sky/background foliage been cropped out and had you used the full available dimensions.

Probably what you're suffering from most, though, is a popular "What IS that?" Without a focal point, my eye wanders around this picture without finding anything to settle on. Check the tutorial on the rule of thirds- once you get a feel for that, the pictures start to pop.

Really nice idea - pity about the size of this image. Is this a macro? It has that incredible depth of field feeling - but I'm not sure it's really helpful here - a touch more definition in the canopy of the trees would be nice.

Interesting perspective! The main subject is fully in focus and placed in the lower right corner following the rule of thirds, good.
