well I thought they were. Tell me why not. I'm willing to accept lack of originality, but I'm more interested in execution.

cliche, boring, soft, etc..

soft?
And it's in sharp focus. I thought the colors and textures were interesting.

1) The cropping on the OP is very poor. Subjects should rarely be centered in the image like that.

2) The reflections in the water are distracting to the point that they ruin the image. Shooting it from a different angle or using a circular polarizing lens of some sort to eliminate the reflections would have helped a lot. The crops help a little, but they feel awkwardly tight.

3) The subject is kind of boring, and the leaf is kind of ugly.

Technically speaking I think you did an OK job with the camera settings and whatnot, it's just not a very interesting photograph.

I was intentioning trying to capture the reflection, I thought it would help make it interesting.
I don't see how the leaf is ugly.
Here, have a more interesting subject I shot. Yeah, it's kind of dark, not bothering to shop it. And I couldn't get the damn camera to focus on his head.
Also shot a pic of a rather large white crane, but it was from a distance.

Crane, but from a distance. Unshopped.

i suggest you shooting at people and capturing moments in life. not just nature. also, things built by human could be alot more intresting

not to me. I'm kind of a naturefag. I go out there to get away from people. I'd rather watch giant white cranes than talk to people.
I'm kind of disappointed about that crane. I was practically standing right next to it before I scared it away.
