I like the composition, with the subject being in the bottom right third of the frame. I think you took this at the wrong time of day, the shadows are strong and some detail is lost in them.

Excellent concept. Definitely a mundane subject made extraordinary. The red of the concrete is a great contrast to the green of the weed and makes it pop out of the shot. Love the leading lines that the concrete , makes you eyes focus on the weed itself. The white of the weed gives an extra touch of beauty to the ordinary weed. From a "9" to a "10".

reasonable image, but i don't find it too interesting. perhaps more detail in the plantis in order, or a sharper image. good start though

Good job making a plain old weed look interesting. This is a perfect example of how a Levels layer adjustment could make this look better. Good job anyway!

good composition. I like the way you brought the diagonals in via the brick cracks leading the eye right to the subject.

Effective composition and observation of colour. Certainly makes the mundane interesting.

Typically i like shots like this a lot, but there's something about the color and the darkness of the exposire that throws me off... it also seems a bit soft.

I'd like to see some alternate lighting here as it's too flat to make the shot engage me
