Hi, my name is Kari and from the critique club.

First Impression - the most important one:
Lovely shot ... maybe a little too much in the crop.

Composition:
Interesting .. . but hasn't really applied the rules .. leading lines would drag the eye into t he shot and rules of thirds would create interest .... have a look at this site:

Subject:
is fine and meets the challenge.

Technical (Colour and light):
I love outdoor light .. so in nature .. but the question is the DOF ... I don't think that the greenery in the background adds to this shot ... aper from the the DOF is fine.

To grow its vote?:
Take a look at what others have done .. and think as you take a shot .. are other people going to find this interesting .. is this compelling .... that sort of thing.

Summary:
Great work .. always on the improve ... keep it up.

If you've got any questions about this critique, please feel free to contact me via the PM system.

Cheers

Kari

I have to say I love this pic! The angle and the crop are perfect don't let the small-photo-police bring you down.

This meets the challenge – it’s inanimate and arranged. Could have done with being more of an assembly though. 6

Comment by Kivet:
dof could be greater, the one in front is too out of focus and maybe crop a bit tighter on the bottom.

I love how these are on the verge of a crack. Reminds me of the story of the sower sowing his seeds in the rocks. The two round bushes at top are a bit distracting. Colors are lovely.

Comment by shirokko:
The twigs in front of the shot is distracting - would like to be able to read the script on the tombstone - would make it more interesting.

that blade of grass is too dominating over the actual subject.
