"Take an artistic photo of a brick or multiple bricks. There can be other items in your photo but the focus must be on the bricks and it must take up at least 75% of the photo."

In your shot the focus isn't on the bricks.........focus is on the stone
sorry! it is my opinion

well, mazanda, you're right, it is just your opinion
and, of course you have right to have it, but focus here right on the bricks, but not on the stone, that is just laying there.

lovely mood, but not very sharp, did you use a tripod.

No, I didn't. I changed the photo, is this better? If not, I will reshoot with the tripod. Thx!!

If you can, do re-shoot with a tripod. The photo has promise.
