*Critique Club*
This photo sufferes greatly from lack of focus. Not having any photographers comments, it's impossible to know what you were trying for here. My biggest piece of advice is if you want someone to spend the time to critique your photo, then you could spend the time to give that person some info.
That being said, the focus hurts my eyes. I can't see anything really. The forground is huge and blurry, which is a distraction if you were trying to take a photo of the background.
The background itself is blurry, so what could be a beautiful scene is really lost in the fuzziness.
Colors seem muted. No real punch in the colors. Maybe a hue/saturation boost and play with the brightness/contrast some.
I can't really tell, but these look like plants or weeds, and that would be considered stems, not branches.
I think had someone in the photo been in focus, this could have been a lot stronger shot, however, as is, it is not as appealing as it could be.

| So good to see an exploratory shot like this one. Keep exploring with varying focal points and color combinations. Distinction comes from "branching" out. |

| IMHO, the blossoms in the foreground should have been tack sharp. Otherwise, nice colors and capture of the water. |

| Poor use of DOF, and makes the flowers in the foreground just seem like it's in the way.. |

| This shot really suffers from the unfocused plants in the front. |

| If you have something taking up so much of the foreground, chances are you want to have it in focus. Otherwise it look like a mistake. The alternative, for this image, would have been to move the 'branch' on the left out of your field of view. It hink that might have made a much stronger composition even with it out of focus. |

| The colors add a bit of fantasy feel to the water. In my opinion, it would be better if the left-most frond was a little more in focus since it occupies so much of this image. |

| Not enough focus on anything here. |

| Looks a bit over-exposed/lacking in contrast. |

| I don't really understand why it would be the land of Angelica. The close up of whatever that it is isn't in focus which draws attention to the stream. Unfortunately streams aren't the topic of this challenge. |

| I like the blurred plant in the lower right, but the one on the left "blocks" my eyes from seeing the rest of the photo. I wish I would reach out and push it out of the way. |

| I think it would have worked better if those things in the foreground were a bit smaller and clearer. 6 |

| Foreground would benefit from better focus, but the background is sharp. |

| There doesn't seem to be anything particularly "IN" focus. Sorry. |

| composition seems "interrupted" for the sake of including the "flower", not sure that it serves the pictures best interests |

| good pic but maybe and this is just me, you should have left the left flower out of the pic and only have the right flower, but great pic anyway :) |
