nice lighting, seems a bit off balance though. I would have liked an angled composition with the branch coming from bottom left to top right better. good shot
Loveable lights and moody colours! :-) I especially love the light circles on the dark blue background. For me, the leaf colours doesn't really represent autumn, the new side of the subject is very much more accented, but alltogether a nice shot.
I wish I could give this an 11 or better. The colors, sharpness - background - everything is perfect. God, I hope I can come near this level of talent some day! Congratulations. If you don't win the blue ribbon, I will be completely confused.
