Greetings from the critique club. First let me say that I think you met the challenge pretty well, your composition is pretty well, however there really isnt much to keep the viewers attention, and it doesnt have the Pop of colors that the voters seem to demand. You have pretty decent focus although just a touch sharper wouldnt hurt, maybe a slight pass of USM in photoshop would sharpen it up a touch after resizing. Overall a nice entry, good luck in future challenges.
Great photo, but it needs quite a fair bit of help in the post processing. After levels, saturation and colour selection to bring out the green and the fiber this photo would be really cool! ...but for now it's a bit dull. :(
i love the soft subtle colour but i think this could have really benefitted from having more of the leaf in focus. Saying that it's still a great shot :o)
