The composition is nice, looks like something is wrong with the PP though? I am guessing not the most optimal web resize? it kinda has that look of a nice image in a bad version, I am sure the original fullsize is very nice.

Please check original post, something went wrong with the web resizing. Let me know now if still a problem. Thanks

so you focused on the flowers/roof on the right hand side, am i right? I would ideally like to see the bridge and some of the plants be as sharp as the flowers and roof. if you are going to focus on a foreground element and keep the f stop low eanough so it will be noticably sharper than the rest of the image then you should make the foreground element the main element of the shot imo. a bit hard for me to say when the image is at this size tho, I have a small monitor... Maybe focusing on the bridge, or using a large fstop, or moving the angle to focus more on the sharp flowers. And perhaps the plants are just a tad overexposed, maybe half a stop too much.

well just some thoughts for improvement. I like the shot in general, nice scene, those yellow flowers make a welcome color splash in all the green.

The focus was on the left side of the bridge, farthest from my eye.
