I really like the composition and the lighting, but no portion of the photo seems to be sharply focused. 5 (Would have been a 7 with sharp focus somewhere)

Good concept, but I don't like the lack of a sharp focal point. Not that every picture has to be tacksharp, but this one looks unintentional to me (just my impression).

This photo has a lot of potential. I like the colors and the composition is great. The only problem is the photo doesn't seem to be in focus or is blurry.

Like the concept/ composition. Not sure on execution. I would have preferred a sharper forground. Good luck.

This could have been a really pretty picture with the composition you've chosen and sparkling light reflected on the pads. Unfortunately, it's OOF everywhere.

Closer and better focus would have made a good impression of this image..

if it was in focus it would be gorgeous. Looks like a bit of camera shake?

Good composition, but there seems to be some motion blur. A tripod would help this.

The light off the leaves is great, but the picture is spoilt somewhat by camera shake or blurring of some description, imo.

chance for a beautiful shot but it looks like you had some camera shake throwing the focus off.
