Comment by Graydog:
The ducks are out of focus and they foliage is a distracting element>dont think the sepia lends itself to this shot either.

Comment by Konador:
Composition: 3 - Seems very cluttered with the main focus centered, which doesnt work here imo
Technical: 3 - The jpeg compression is way too strong. You had 200kb to work with in this challenge, but you only used 22. This results in artifacting and also it looking very soft.
Creativity: 3 - A different angle to make this more unique would improve it
Appeal: 2 - With the artifacts, softness, crowdedness, and also the way too strong orange colour, the photo doesnt appeal to me at all, sorry.

Overall Calculated Average Score: 3

The color tone si just not working for me here. I find the branches pretty distracting as well.

Foucs seems a little off, I'd prefer to see the ducks crisper and the foreground less enhanced

Nice idea. The problem here is the image quality: there are lots of artifacts in this shot, detail is lost. I think you used a low jpeg-quality. Try a higher one next time!

Your photo is pixelated, maybe blown up to much. Also dark while the flower is blown out.
