Your title taught me a new word!

You've chosen interest subjects here, but the lighting just isn't working for you. Try to find a more diffuse light source that's off to the side or behind--on-camera flash is pretty much never going to make your photos look good.

Texture on the pods is really interesting. Light looks very harsh to my eye.

Aside from the speculars, the lighting (and hence, the colors) seems dull.

An interesting take. Would have liked the focus on the face a little sharper.

I'm going through the entries, stopping at those images I feel have had the benefit of an unconventional eye and dwelling a little longer to try to see and appreciate what you saw. This is one of those images.

Positives: Really nice colours here - the reflected sky, the water, the trees make for a rather elemental feel. It is interesting the way the image disorientates a viewer too.

Critical stuff: Not an easy picture to look at for very long - rather cluttered composition... but that is the nature of the scene.

Overall: An interesting study of light, shade and texture.
