Greetings from the Critique Club
composition
I would suggest getting closer to the subject, I had a difficult time seeing her. Might I also suggest putting those cool lines on the inside of tub to use? I think that you could really draw my eye to the subject with them.
color
This is the part of the photo that I enjoy the most. The fall colors in this shot are beautiful, especially the way the purple and green mingle.
contrast
The leaves growing on the inside of the tub would have made absolutely wonderful negative space if you were a bit closer. I also think that if this would improve on a contrast of man-made and natural subject matter.
focus
Good job for where the photo was taken, although again, try getting closer. Macro may have been a good option if you are willing to get down on your belly.
depth of field
Would have been nice to see less in focus. Fall colors look really nice when they all blur together.
lighting
Not sure what time of day this was taken, but I would try to see if you could go back at a time when the sun is just rising or setting so that it is shining directly into the face of the 'babe'. This could also make for interesting shadows on the inside of the tub.
any other element of the photo that stands out or is lacking in some way
Overall this is a good attempt at what has potential to be a great shot. I urge you to revisit this location and re-shoot the subject...and if you do, please share it with us. |

| Not a bad idea but I had to really search for the "babe" and even then it looks like a young woman. First thing that came to mind when I saw this was baby and bath water type thing but that didn't quit fit either. The shot could use a tighter crop to me, the front is just distraction at this point, to come in more on the tub with the surrounding trees would have been much more effective to me. A 4 |

| i understand the idea you're trying to convey here and i think it's a very clever literalism. unfortunately, it's really hard to make out what the subject is. a tighter shot, closer to your subject, would make the pic much better. good try! |

| Had trouble spotting her! good idea but the main subject is a bit on the small side. 5 |

| While I like the literalism you have chosen I think it could have been portrayed a little better. For starters the main subject of your photo should be the "babe" and I can barely distinguish it from the rest of the photo. I had to look really hard to find it. I also would have moved that one distracting branch off the leaves. The photo looks a little dark in the main focus area and I might have cropped out the blurry part of the foreground as it is distracting and adds nothing to the photo. |

| I had to hunt to find your subject. Perhaps should have cropped tighter or gotten in a bit closer. |
