You'll probably get a lot of comments about the post processing - it's a bit overdone.

New Growth...

Comment by Tygerr:
This one's composition is a bit cluttered. Needed to isolate those cone buds a bit more. The two vertical branches on either side are distracting.

Also, more saturation would have made the colour more vivid, which would add impact.

Great focus and DOF though.

Comment by Tygerr:
Not a bad pic. The composition is decent - strong subject. A level shoreline might have made a stronger impact though (parallel bands of colour behind a subject usually emphasise the subject well). And there is good focus (although you could probably sharpen it up a bit more in pp).

Two things probably hurt your votes - firstly the lack of a more solid connection between your image and the theme. Most people tend to overlook the title...

And secondly, the overall tone is a bit flat. Needed to pump up the contrast and the colours a bit. On this site, photographers usually talk of getting their images to 'pop'. That's a good description of what I mean - if it was more vivid it would burst out at your eyes more.

Cute chick though... ;-)

Viewers will have a had time scoring this image because it is hard to tell what the object is. Confusion always garners lower scores. The general quality is OK, maybe a bit heavy on the red, but that probably is in keeping with what it is.
