The flash created harsh shadows which I personally don't like. It makes your photo look flat and unreal. Nice idea though, it could have looked very nice with a secondary light source instead of a flash. (If you have the ability, try to turn down the brightness on your flash. Not all cameras can do that.)

I feel it could mabey have been better if this was not taken with flash as the shadows behind the leaves there, makes this natural picture look a bit unnatural, if you know what I mean :o Good composition, Good luck :)
The sharp shadows make this picture. Excellent combination of lighting from two directions. I like blue with orange rather than green, but the green works well here.
The flash ruins what might otherwise be an interesting image. On-camera flashes flatten everything and rim them with sharp, unaesthetic shadows. I try to avoid using them for anything but crude snapshots.
This photo looks sharp, however I think that it is too contrived. And the placement of the objects feels wrong...I like the title...I really like the upper right hand corner of this photo..however that has nothing to do with rust. ah se la ve
