I'm kinda picky about the colors. This might have looked better with more of a golden and brown hue on the leaves and without the red halo. The sun is actually overdone.
I think you might have been able to pull this off if we could have seen a lot more green -- as if the leaves were stained glass. As it is, I just don't think it works very well. I'd suggest next time metering on the leaves -- it'll probably blow out the sun and maybe the sky though -- you might have to find an angle thatd oesn't include the sun in the shot.
I'm not especially inspired by your choice of subject, but the shot it well-exposed, with an impressive focal range. I'm also impressed by your ability to include the sun in the shot without blowing everything else out. 7-ClubJuggle.
I took a picture like this, too....I didn't submit it for the same reason I don't like this one....I like the idea of it and will continue to work on mine, but I just don't like the look
