Greetings from the Critique Club!

Aesthetic: You have got an eye for something as picturesque as this one but the image really lacks on many things.

Technical: The focus seems to be too soft. Also slower shutter speed would have helped capture more vivid colors.

Challenge: Anything would fit in "free study", so everything is good here :)

Conclusion: I feel this could have been great "posture" picture if the focus was sharp and colors were vivid. Somehow the photo seems to be right out of camera and had lots of potential for post-processing to make it really stand out. Try sharpening, contrast and some work with Hue/Saturation ...and you will really get a whole new picture from this one. I really feel tempted to try my hands on this one.

I'm by no means expert in area of photography. My comments are purely based on my limited understanding of technology and art behind digital photography. Apart from doing detailed evaluation of your submission, my intent is to learn different styles of photography by critically evaluating selective submissions. If you've got any questions about this critique, please feel free to contact me via email or PM.

Wish you a great day!

Whatever that is on the right side sitting out there alone is a bit distracting, but other than that I like the photo.

That stick in the frame on the RHS is distracting and could have been cloned out. Image is busy, but lacks a significant point of interest. The sky colours are not quite strong or unusual enough to make the image particularly interesting.
