The photographer is looking for generalized feedback about the aesthetic and technical qualities of their image.

Description

This was a simple scene I came across while on a short hike through a small park in Boston. I wasn’t expecting to find much in this little park in the middle of a residential neighborhood, but it turned out to be a fantastic day. This image was so simple, and the little bumps on the leafe were interesting, too. (I think they are called galls?) I could not help but frame it up and create this image.

Specific Feedback

This is nice, Todd!
My only feedback is to crop it. I’m not sure you need all the wood stuff on the right hand side.

This is lovely, I realy like the simplicity of the colours. I quite like the asymetrical crop as well, but the right edge is not entirely sharp; it sees a shame to loose the rich dark browns there in a crop, but I do find the lack of sharpness there a bit distracting.

Excellent!! It’s so nice when a nondescript location can yield interesting shots. I don’t mind the bit of softness but I might crop in just enough to remove most of the lighter stuff.
