(1) COMPOSITION -CONTENT - I look at this, and I cannot be sure what you want me to focus on. The title says âIrish Mossâ, and I donât know what that really is. When I look at the photo, I see two subjects â the two large leaves on the right, and the finer vegetation on the right. In addition, all the bright spots to the right of the leaves are distracting to me.

(2) BACKGROUND - See comment above. The photo is very busy. Lots of things to look at, and I donât think that all of them are your primary subject.

(3) CAMERA WORK -TECHNICAL â The primary areas all appear to be in focus, and properly processed. Iâm guessing that you used the on-camera flash. All the resulting bright spots are highly distracting. This may have been eliminated with more indirect lighting; though I can understand where this may have been difficult to get.

(4) DIGITAL PROCESSING - TECHNICAL - Looks pretty good to me.

(5) YOUR OPINION ON THE PHOTO - Overall, an average ,but good, photo. The positives â a unique subject photographed technically well, are balanced by the negatives â whatâs the main subject, and the multiple spotty bright reflections.

Too bad, the flash light did no justice to the unusual texture of these little plants, to much sharpening perhaps as well.

over-sharpened? :-)

Which is the irish moss? There appears to be 3 distinctly different plants here. The score actually depends on which is it. The two big round things appear to be your subject but they don't appear to be moss. The large amount of black with a tad of green on the left as I look at it appears to be a moss but it doesj't appear as your subject in the picture. The little bit of oozy stuff on the right could possible be moss of the slimy kind but diffinitely isn't the subject, more like in the way. Right now all I see is a 4. Good focus but possibly bad crop job. This is just my opinion. Maybe others saw it differently. Sorry PTL

very neat,

Looks almost like a little forrest. Moss on the left is a little dark, but could be my monitor. Nice depth of field, good focus. 8

It seems to be a bit over-sharpened. Perhaps that is just your lighting but it detracts from the shot either way. DPz

Interesting shot. Looks like something you'd see in the bottom of the ocean. The flash left a bit too much glare. Jacko.

Maybe a different angle would have helped this photo

Dificult to get a sense of scale with the fractal geometry of nature
