I discarded this photo for the gallery. I like the color, the light, the light in the leaves, the blurred trees, the mood, even the title which Tedz noticed. I don't like neither the annoying leaves; you Michelle aren't a nit-picky. Also I don't like the "plume" of the plant in the forefront out of focus. But this photo has something wrong and I think that is the composition, the 50mm lenses aren't my preferred and I am not so good as you Michelle, for example, with this lens.
Just now I've tried to crop the photo with the elements that I like and the result is more as the style that I feel myself well. But one of my rules is "not crop"; compose in the moment of the shot to get the 100% of quality, as I said, a cropped image can be good for the gallery but its use is limited to the monitor. And I'm wondering: why in the moment of the shot I didn't endeavor to get the photo that I like? If I can do it now with Photoshop, why I didn't composed in the moment of the shot?
Thanks for your generosity I appreciate very much your opinion and sorry for the silly title of this message, it should have been What is wrong in this photo?
