I hope I am not too harsh, but your image makes me think you need to spend some time with composition. For what it is worth a picture is generally read from left to right and from front to back. Your main subject should take you into the frame and you have to be careful not to allow something to take your eye out of the frame. As I try to get into it the darker upright limb takes me right out. I think if you could have isolated some of the wonderful ferns and taken them from a prspective that the trunk they are on could take you into the frame you would end up with a much more powerful image. 4
Yucky sky day. I'd hate to say don't shoot on those days, but its rare when of the pictures comes out. Especially in color. You can occastionally salvage a black and white or sepia.
The foreground tree, vines and ferns is beautiful. The background is neither sharp enough to add to the picture nor blurred enough to ignore - it really detracts from the effect.
The best fit I could find without spending so much time as to deny other photos consideration was this: //www.newage-directory.com/fount.html. Close? Juxtaposition, yielding and firm. I suppose I can see that, though not convincingly so. Lighting and background seem to conspire to draw my attention to much from the main subject. I'm curious which came first in this instance: did you envision this image and seek it out, or did you observe the scene and draw the inspiration from that? Not sure that it matters - each has it's place - just curious.
