I just commented on a picture of a cheetah by the water. that picture had two things yours is missing: a reflection of the subject, and ripples from the contact. I like your composition, though, and the colors are nice. good diagonals on the rock, the stick and the reflections.

Nice image, I may have cropped the branch at the top out.

This is a wonderful idea for a still life photo. Natural lighting is nice and the composition overall is fine. Biggest factor in scoring impact is that the image isn't that well focused. Seems a little blurry. One other thing is some fill light (bounced light from a white poster board would work great with that natural light) would help in the lower left of this image.

All JMO of course. :D Good luck in the challenge.

What a wonderful atmostphere this shot conveys. The colors are cheerful but not overwhelming, the light adds a lot to the mood, and the expression and composition add so much. Fantastic shot, a real keepsake for her as she grows older. 10

I like the idea. The angled light picks out the textures nicely. I might have tried a secondary light source from the lower left to keep that corner from dropping so far in value.
