Hello, I'm new to this Forum and would very much like to start having my images critiqued. So feel free to work me over....Thanks in advance.

P.S. If I messed up something on the posting process.I'm sorry, like i said its my first time.

Also, can somebody tell me why my image looks blurry? It is in Actuality very sharp on my monitor and my website??

Doesn't look blurry to me, but it would really help if you posted the EXIF data.

This is a really nice photo. The composition, lighting and subject are all really nice. Seriously, congratulations :-)

There are two things that stand out as areas you could improve if retaking the shot:
1) there's a slight lens flare at the top right, which is a bit distracting
2) the water on the rocks is reflecting a lot of light, which is blowing out your colors a bit. If you use a circular polarizing filter (correctly, that is... :-p) you'll be able to block out those reflections and get much richer colors. Having said that, in this unusual case the colors are still pretty good even with reflections everywhere, and I kinda like the effect it creates. You'll probably find it looks great either way.

By the way, what's your website? I looked in your profile but didn't see it. If the rest of your shots are as good as this, I bet it's worth advertising :-p

Thank You Ohfor, I wish I could show you the print, I chilled out the way the rocks reflect the light and it is so much better on paper than the screen. The flare in the upper right was water spray crossing in front of the tree...your eye is sharp.

My website is TDS Photography -- Michael Pyle feel free to check it out. Again, thank you very much for taking the time to critique. I will take the time to finish filling out my profile correctly today i hope.
