Sunlight streaming through trees in the forest always makes for a nice photo, this is no exception.

Greetings from the Critique Club

I like this and I don't like this. What I like is the simplicity of it and the composition. The subject does add color to the image and that is what I find attention getting.

What I don't like is the shadow I think it hurts the photo. I also think you got a good bit of graininess going on here and I can't understand why. Your lighting seems ok other than it is casting that shadow so that wouldn't be creating your graininess. It could have happened when you sharpened it. I just know I see some graininess in the white area and some "hot pixels" in the light itself.

Overall I think its a nice image but I also think many of the voters didn't like the colors in this challenge.

I would like this better without the shadow (not sure if that is possible though) but I do like the reflection.

Salt is really hard to expose properly. It looks blown to me with no detail. I think the grains on the mirror are really interesting because you can see exactly where the DOF was. 5
