Nice bench first off. That is totally cool.
The shot needed an different angle for sure. Maybe something much lower and a bit more to the left would have helped the composition. This shows me what I refer to as a "Flat Footed" shot. You could have changed the angle and faired much better. The color thing is way cool. It isolates the subject and makes it literally jump out of the shot. Nice thinking there. Had you come around the left a bit and gotten lower you could have cropped a bit tighter top to bottom. Pretty cool thinking and again NICE BENCH!

Composition;
A slight shift to the right would have done a bit of good. The leading lines are all good here. When doing this sort of shot you want your end subject to be a bit more dominate than you have here. It's a very good attempt and an even better learning shot. The dead space on the left is to over powering in the shot. Had the end pew begun at the edge it would hold far better.

Exposure: Coming from a wedding photographer I know how tough it is to shoot in churches. It's a nightmare to get a decent shot exposed correctly or even close for that matter. You have quite a bit of noise in your shot but, I really like how you compensate by going to Sepia and giving it an antique type look. It's funny because that is exactly what I do when I find myself in a pinch with a client and wind up with noisy shots. You did good here. Did you try B&W at all? I'd like to see a B&W version and maybe even introduce a tad bit more noise for effect.

Overall I'd say your shot was fairly good with all things considered. Just a couple things to consider next time but you pulled it off. It's not a snapshot and I don't believe you finished last. Congrats and keep up the work. I seen your port and your going to do quite well here.

I came back to this a day later and adjusted your score. It went up in case your wondering. Maybe I'll check it again tomorrow and go up even further...
It's a very nice shot and I love the colors. I would have tried to make the green pop a bit more than it's current state. Beautiful composition. Actually after writing my critique I'm adding another point because a few things came to light after closer look. Congrats on your 8

Very creative, this is a nice shot. I like the composition and the placement of the oragami. There would be a hundred different placements but this one works well. The lighting is great I really like what you did here. The shadows are sharp in some points and soft in others. Your focus works well here also. Not too sharp and not too soft. Very nice shot. keep up the good work.

Well...3 things here Noise, Noise and more Noise. It doesn't help that there is impurities in the water to help magnify the noise. It really creates a distracting picture. You had the right idea don't get me wrong. Composition puts the bird in the strong middle of the shot. Tough to do unless there is something strong enough to place it dead center. The lighting is too harsh and caused blown highlites. You could have panned back a bit and cought the reflection of the bird and maybe had something. Sorry this shot doesn't do much for me. Keep trying though I've seen your other work and your very good. I was wondering why you didn't go for BW with this shot??? It would have done much better.
