The mage was taken almost 3 years ago of the moss growing on the rocks around our backyard fishpond, Canon 6D, 70-300 mm lens at 115 mm, f14, 1/100 sec, 400 ASA.

Description:The color of the moss against the gray rocks with the various other vegetation caught my attention, along with the clear water with leaves algae and some water grass.

Specific Feedback Requested: Any comments on composition, and processing are welcome. Raw image was developed using Affinity Photo V1.

Hey Ian.

I can see why that moss caught your eye. Those greens are beautiful especially against those neutral rocks.
Both the textures of the moss and rock are gorgeously captured.

The only critique I can offer is that leaf on the bottom has a very punchy red and distracts the viewer, maybe crop the image a bit from the bottom, os try some local adjustment to reduce the presence of this leafs.
Cheers

Thank you for the suggestions, I did clone the bottom leaf and that helped keep your eyes on the moss, I greatly appreciate the time you took to view and critique the image - thanks again.
