Colors are strong. The jumbled composition doesn't have much impact on me - I think this subject would have shown better with a highly structured layout - lineup and a stron side light maybe. Still, this is a pretty good image, but not set apart.
Very nice COLORS!!! I bet your just kicking yourself seeing that the upcoming challenge is \'color\'. Hey, this is very nice shot either way, right? right!.... Great detail, nice lighting, and decent composition. Super job!
Critique: All lines lead my eyes outside of the image rather than into it. This just makes it harder to stay "inside" the picture.
Praise: Great colors, sharp focus and obvious attention to detail makes this a very appealing image overall. I like it.
