Nice image. The colors are good as are the details. Techinally the photo is good, however as good as it is techincally it lacks the "personality" it hold your attention. The orange leaves grab your attention but once it has your attention it doesn't hold it cause nothing else in the photos grabs you, that tree overwelms the photo and distracts the view from the cloud leaving it almost as if the photo isn't balanced out.

I do feel you met the challenge, and again I will say your colors are really good as are the details.

6. Would prefer more red and crisper clarity on the leaves.

I like photographing low sunlight on trees/leaves. This looks a little dark, but it could be my monitor or intentional. If not, I'd have boosted the contrast a bit more.

Great color combinations. The colors are very well defined and play off of each other nicely. I wish the lighting aspect of this was a little more vivid - the light seems muted, maybe by a polarizing filter? Keeps out the glare but I think it dulls out the tones just a tad. Still, great focus and the colors are nice. Composition is tight, but I think it works. 6, would've been higher had the brightness been there.

Very interesting composition. I like the layering effect that you achieved. The orange, green ,the white and then the blue. Great eye on seeing this one.
