Nice colours and it provides me a real 'holilday-feeling'. However, I would have zomed in more to one of the groups of fruits OR I would have zomed out so you could see more of the tree and its background.

Me quedo con la parte izquierda porque se ven mejor los detalles.

Amazing details, but i feel that it lacks a subject or point of interest.

Too busy - too much going on - help me find something to look at...

Best,
Jon

even if the comments above are true, i do like this shot, i'm feeling on holiday, just like i were in the carribean sea

Seems to lack a focal point or any direction. Maybe bring the colors out more or could cause your eye to be drawn in.

I second Ryan, I feel that there is no focal point. Try working on the contrasts in the image...maybe a greyscale :)

The sweet area of this subject that I would be nice to see "featured" in your composition is the 2 stalks that cross each other on the left of this composition. They have a nice area of focused light on them and a composition that really explored that area of the scene would be much stronger. This is just too busy and, as others have said, lacks focus of interest and it lack sharp focus as well.

I can only agree what people have said above. It's very disorderly. Try to find out for yourself what you had in mind while you were photographing. Maybe it did look very beautiful for you at the time, but for us it simply doesn't work.

There is really nothing to commend this photo, I'm afraid. Be sure to have a purpose for your photograph!

Cheers,
Jon

the swan is placed in a very awkward position in the frame,
i would have have liked it in the lower half of the grid,on the left,with respect to the rule of thirds,thats if i wanted a wide frame,
the other way would be a tight portrait like composition....

Thanks for your comments. I have just discovered the world of taking pictures as a hobby. I learn daily from this site, especially when my photos are looked at. Again, thanks.

Cropping out some of the excess water may bring the swan closer revealing more details.

I agree with all of the above comments - I would add that the water is beautiful, however...it would have made a nice capture apart from the swan.

Best,
Jon

I agree with jon on the water, it's great!

The detail and color in this photo is very good...for me, the green plant in the background is a little distracting...but overall I think this is a wonderful photo!

I agree that the colour and detail is striking. If anything, I think that the main subject could be a little too "centred" and looks a little lost in the landscape composition. Perhaps a portrait format would have allowed a little more focus on those fantastic flowers.

Thanks for the comments. Learning is great when your own photos are looked at. I appreciate greatly.

Very nice use of DOF and the colors are striking.
I really like the green plants blured int he back ground.
But I would have liked it better if the subject was not in the center. Either on the left or the right third of the picture would have made a nicer composition imho.

In some ways I like the subtle colours of the sunset, but overall I think this image is a little too dull. I think losing approximately half the sky and making this a panorama might help.

And the horizon is tilted just enough to bother me.

I think a vertical crop with half of the foreground, and with the dark clouds in the sides removed will work. Love the colors and the sky, i would hate to see it cropped. And yeah, as Heath said, a panorama will work too :)

Tim,

Good effort overall, I think. Colors and light are good - comp, as mentioned, could be stronger. Keep the submissions coming!

Best,
Jon

I agree to an extent with the compositional comments above. However I like the emptiness, because for me it suggests a story about a usually busy beach waking up in the morning. You have captured enough detail in the sand to suggest lots of footprints (?) and the very subtle colours leading to blue sky work for me quite well.

Heheh :)

Pradeep -I thought so too, that's why I submitted it. Thanks for the comment
