Deep greens and the arched silhouette work well in this composition. Great deep blacks. Fits the challenge topic well. The clarity of the detail is very nice.
The leafy branch in the upper right side of the frame and the single leaf on the top left are slightly distracting and you might consider removing them. Overall this is a very fine image.
Very 'headless horseman' sort of feel to this shot (if that makes any sense at all). I think this is great, inner framing on a beautiful but dark green forest with some dull foreground clutter leaves. Possibly a little oversaturated at the back but it's a very fine line! I hope this does well, I predict top 10 but what the hell do I know :)

REVISITED: Perhaps a little bit could have been cropped off the left. If only you could clone out that bit of greenery on the top right ;)
