Hi there, congratulations on a very good picture and finish! And you almost beat your mom :)) This is a very mature picture, the composition and the colours are beautiful. Take care,
A quiet pleasure, sensitively metered and well titled. Natural (colours and tones, arrangement/composition), straightforward (manner), cedibly emotive. The focus is crisp enough throughout a larger depth of field, which is simply... sensible, given the subject.
I didn't like this at first until I realized what an excellent sense of color you have. The detail and the vividness of colors really sets the tone of fall. Good stuff.
Wonderfully original subjects for a still life!!! Bonus for that! The lighting however kind of lets you down a little. I would also try pulling back a touch to get more background to frame the subject or tighter crop to eliminate it. As is it makes the image lopsided.

helicopters! i'd love to do a shot of one of these falling against a black background.. slow shutter with a flash at the end to freeze it at the bottom of the fall. interesting texture but this looks more like a found nature shot than a traditional set up still life.might also do with a tad more contrast
How pretty they are all bunched like this bathed in this wonderful gold lighting. I think this also would of been good in the Grace challenge. Nice shot.
