Dried mud (cropped)

It seems to me that there is very little range in this shot. The composition seems random as well. As I look deeper, I think there are some options within for more dynamic compositions.

this one would look great blown up as a huge print

Interesting background; for me, it needs a focal point; or maybe its my monitor.

The treatment of this subject matter could be improved by shooting on a day when the lighting was not so flat. Another possible option would be to utilize an off-camera flash to create more interesting lighting effects.
