Looks like the area is crowded with swans. Good detail, I like the water drops.

Not sure if you will chekc the outtakes thread so here's a repeat of my comment there:

I actually liked the branches. They added to the abandonded feeling nicely. Sort of a foreground bokeh.

Nice shot of a pair of trashy birds (I'm not big on crows). You did great with the exposure.

the angle of the light brings out nicely the textures of the wall.

Sorry, but this doesnt do much for me. The focus is soft, and it looks like a dog left something in the bottom right corner.

Hello, and greetings from the critique club. :)

For this image I love the colours. That gives it immediate interest. It appears to be a tad on the bright side, and the lighting is fairly harsh, I would guess from a flash. The focus is excellent, and it certainly fits the challenge.

If you were to retake this photo, try bouncing the flash instead of using direct flash on the subject, or diffuse the flash. I think that would make a world of difference on this shot.

I look forward to seeing more of your florals.

simple - but if you had taken it in the other direction you would have had an interesting shadow to add toyour composition
