I really like this shot. I love the title it tells exactly what the shot is about. I love the colors in this photo, they are very bright and vibrant. I like how it is a single leaf to focus on and then the background shines through and just helps to focus on the leaf. I also like how the leaf is in focus but the background is not it helps for the viewer to tell what your main focus is.. this is a very nice shot. Nice job.
Stunning backdrop and I like the imaginative link to the challenge. I'm hoping this will score well and that people don't score it lower because they think it doesn't fit the challenge (just because it's not a roll of film and a memory card).
The only thing that detracts for me is the foreground doesn't look like it is in sharp enough focus but maybe my eyes are going funny in my old age. 8.
