I took a whole series of shots in the little garden/seating area just south of the Art Institute, and finally decided to enter this one. I'll upload another to my UnChallenged gallery.

i can see how this fits the challenge, the composition is good, and the coloring and light are good, however as a photo i just don't find it overly interesting to look at
This photo doesnt look interesting to me at all. It needs some post processing to stop the colours looking so flat and dull, maybe increasing the contrast. Its also a bit blurry, and really the subject matter isnt very appealing. Also, the composition is too centered imo, and the angle isnt very creative or interesting either.
i think that by making this a black and white photo with high contrast, you could not only emphasize the light and shadows aspect, but also the texture of the tiny leaves... i tried it in photoshop, and it came out lovely! - 6
