This is Kari Ann, greetings from the Critique Club:
composition: the centered composition adds to the image in this case, and the leading pebbles up to the little tree add interest
color:strong, vibrant colors work well against the pale blue backdrop
contrast: contrast in the rocks is a little too dark imo, loosing some of their detail
focus: great focus on the tree, its nice and sharp
depth of field: as  tygerr said, a deeper DOF would have helped this image. All the pebbles in focus would have pulled the viewer in and made them look for longer
lighting: good lighting, but the small shadows underneath the pebbles are a little distracting
other: I feel this image is extremely zen. I feel at peace when looking at it, and congratulate you in capturing such an inspiring photo. With a few more tweaks here and there, I feel this could have been much higher in the ranks. glad to see you here on DPC, and keep up with the challenges and expanding your horizons. I hope to see you around here more, and see what you can come up with. if you have any more questions, feel free to PM me whenever, anytime.

| Nice zen composition. I like the bright red berries against the pastel background. If there was one thing I'd change, I'd try to get all those pebbles in the front in focus too (i.e. deeper DOF/smaller aperture). Somehow I just find the blurry ones in front a bit distracting. |

| It certainly looks like an 'Island'. It would have been cool if you could have added real water somehow. |

| I think so many rocks take away from the plant. |

| This was a good idea, but I think the flowers should have been the main point of focus and not the stones. Nice simple picture though. Very feng shui. |

| very basic, reduced to the minimum. I feel that in a picture such as this, everything should be tack sharp and in focus |

| Nice and sharp, good colors, it's good, but it doesn't thrill me either. Perhaps the lighting is just too plain. Not totally sure. |
