Great colours here, and good sense of feel. Despite the interest of those colours, I find this lacks a real sense of subject, of something to catch and hold my attention.

The foreground tree, vines and ferns is beautiful. The background is neither sharp enough to add to the picture nor blurred enough to ignore - it really detracts from the effect.

This looks slightly out of focus.

The best fit I could find without spending so much time as to deny other photos consideration was this: //www.newage-directory.com/fount.html. Close? Juxtaposition, yielding and firm. I suppose I can see that, though not convincingly so. Lighting and background seem to conspire to draw my attention to much from the main subject. I'm curious which came first in this instance: did you envision this image and seek it out, or did you observe the scene and draw the inspiration from that? Not sure that it matters - each has it's place - just curious.

unsharp, needs to be crisp for textures.

I see the texture, but the subject and composition just don't hold my interest.

I'm not sure if this is a failed attempt at a slow shutter or is you left the shutter open to long unintentionally. A lot of great color, but the white on the bottom pulls my attention and it doesn't fit the challenge very well.
