Greetings fromt the Critique Club
Hi Taylor!
Composition
You mostly wanted compositional thoughts, so here are mine: the perspective is unique - coming from a low angle up is good. But in this case, it left the very bright background behind a darker subject. The subject then becomes harder to see. My view of your subject is that little tuft of green stuff? Get closer! Show us its character.
Color
I think the natural light and your camera overexposed this shot. If it were not against a sky background, however, it would look more saturated and natural.
Focus
The focus on this shot is actually EXCELLENT. I wouldn't have changed this.
Lighting
A bit bright, harsh light - maybe try shooting the same subject a few hours earlier or later in the day to take away the harshness?
Subject matter
A great example of flora. I just wish it was closer and larger.
Overall
You say you have the DiMage 7 but that you can't get larger shots than this? Something doesn't match up to me. Either way - get closer to the subject, try to eliminate the harsh reflections and good luck in future challenges!

| Pretty. It's hard to see what's going on because the photo is small, but I like the feeling of being in a forest on a sunny day. |

| Small picture: you ought to figure out how to make it bigger, then these wonderful leaves would be larger and easier to judge. I love the contrasts between the small leaves and the bark. |

| hard to really see what's happening as the various details all sort of merge together in color and busy-ness. |

| The picture is rather small and that combined with the bright background makes it hard to pick out the main subject. A tighter crop/shallower DOF might have helped here. |

| I like the idea for this photo a lot. I think the vine that's creeping up would show a bit better with a tighter crop. |

Your photograph suffers from lack of a focal point and generally being small. I think this would've been an intriguing macro had more of the sky/background foliage been cropped out and had you used the full available dimensions.
Probably what you're suffering from most, though, is a popular "What IS that?" Without a focal point, my eye wanders around this picture without finding anything to settle on. Check the tutorial on the rule of thirds- once you get a feel for that, the pictures start to pop. |

| I believe that having this photo a little larger would make it stronger... is that poison ivy? :) - setzler |

| Really nice idea - pity about the size of this image. Is this a macro? It has that incredible depth of field feeling - but I'm not sure it's really helpful here - a touch more definition in the canopy of the trees would be nice. |

| Interesting perspective! The main subject is fully in focus and placed in the lower right corner following the rule of thirds, good. |
