Very pretty picture. Good job with clarity, and colors, and subject matter.
But the picture itself is lacking a bit. Not from any lack of talent on the photographer's part, but there just isn't a whole lot that makes me look at this picture and say, "Wow!".
I am not seeking to insult you or make you feel bad. This is a great attempt. I just want to offer advise instead of drivling over the picture and then leaving wihout offering any advice.
To truly get this picture to stand out, I'd reccomend getting it from a different angle, or trying to get something in the picture, or in the background that makes it unique. Either something of contrasting color, or just something to really center the picture on. You want people to look at your picture and not simply say, "Hey, a creek", but instead to say, "Wow, what a beautiful picture of a creek."
Again, great picture, keep it up! Keep experimenting, and trying different stuff. Don't quit!
P.S. Feel free to take a look at my gallery and tear into a few of my pics. I would welcome the criticism and advise! Have an awesome day!
Wow! This is a really good picture but I agree with Caiden you can always experiment with other pictures just to see how you can change it for the better, but this is still a great beginning shot.
