Shot from a ladder, I really wanted to get higher, but was lacking a cherry picker. I guess this photo will net me a 5.8-6.3
Hope I stay above my average.

Awesome picture, but there seems to be too much colour saturation overall. Most noticeable in the blue shirt. Leaves also seem overexposed on the right half of the image. This would have been among my top picks if not for this.
Very nice indeed! Filling the frame with the leaves and the angle just make this shot great. Composition good as well. Not sure where the implied lines are, but this shot is great never the less. Congrats
Love this shot! Great composition, great colors. I would have darkened it just a touch, as the leaves in the upper-right corner seem a little washed-out. The ones in the lower-left are fantastic. Great shot. 10.
This was a super idea! One of the most original in the challenge. And I am so jealous -- we don't have any fall colors in Alabama yet -- and may not at all this year because of Ivan. Good luck with your entry.
excellent idea hear -- placement of the green patch is a bit weak (I know that sometimes it's tough to get the elements "lined" up -- especially if this is a candid)
I feel the picture could have been a litle more in focus. I love the color. I do however feel sorry fot you if that is realy your yard....that looks like plenty of work.
If you pulled the camera back a little and have the guy rake a longer line (keeping the guy near the bottom), I think it would have more impact and look better. Also needs more contrast. (Just my opinions, though.) Other than those, excellent shot and perspective!
