Greetings from the Critique Club!

While this shot does meet the challenge for rule of thirds, it isn't incredibly interesting to look at for me.

I like the contrast of the dried flowers and the mud, both in texture and color. The imprint of the shoe tread is a nice touch too.. gives the viewer something to look around at. The other part I like about this is how part of the water you can see through, but the other part is reflected.

I don't necessarily have any suggestions about post processing, besides possibly a slightly different crop to make the flowers more precisely on the rule of thirds area. They sort of trail off the side and get cut off. I think this shot suffers from a general lack of creativity/uniqueness. Most of us have seen this kind of scene at our feet, and while I like the idea of capturing the small bits of beauty you might find in your world, it just doesn't seem like something I want to have saved for eternity.

Hope this has been helpful!

Sorry but this isn´t really an interesting photograph to me, just seems like a poorly thought out snapshot, was this really the most interesting angle to take a photograph of this subject, did you try any others?

This photo doesn't do much to hold my interest. The subject is just not that interesting.

Not sure what I am supposed to look at. Maybe a diferent vantage point.? Remember to try and guide the viewer around the photo.
