Friday Photo Critique is our weekly community project, where we publish a photograph submitted by one of our wonderful readers, then ask you all to offer constructive feedback on the image. It's a great way to learn more about photography, express your viewpoint, and have your own image critiqued!

Quick Ground Rules

1. Play nice! We've deliberately chosen photographs that aren't perfect, so please be constructive with any criticism.
2. Feel free to offer any type of advice - composition, lighting, post-processing etc.
3. You can also link to photographs that you feel offer a great example of this type of image shot exceptionally well.

Without further ado, here is this week's candidate for Friday Photo Critique!

The Photograph

Photo Details & Inspiration

• NIKON D3000
• Tamron SP AF 90mm f2.8 DI Macro
• 1/1000
• f4.5
• ISO 100
• Cloudy white balance

This is the best photo I've taken with this lens, I saw these pieces of moss for days but couldn't shoot them because it was raining.

I cropped the image into a square to center the attention of the viewer on the main subject. I also increased the contrast a bit and lightened the drop in the center, as it looked a bit dark for me.

Photographer: Marcos Rodríguez
