This is very well done and makes me long for cooler weather here in Texas! The orange is striking against the green surroundings and the composition is very appealing to the eye! Good luck...8 johnson
Not my idea of the theme........a little clarification on your thought process would maybe help me here.Can't complain about the shot,it IS good,I just don't see the relevance to the contest,so a 3
I think I understand your concept here of 'autumn being just around the corner', but i don't feel that your image portrays anything particularly interesting about your corner of the world... I really like the photo, however... I love the way the color of that leaf punches out... - setzler
fall ... my favorite time of year here in virginia where i currently live. your photo makes me look forward to taking fall photos (leaves haven't quite turned yet).
challenge met -- yes composition / appeal -- good. i like how the laves seem to point out of the frame, and how you've included 3 partial leaves. technical -- good, love the colors, and the blurry background which is just blurry enough to set off the leaves that are the subject but yet you can still distinguish the individual leaves in the background. overall -- 8 gr8photos :)
nice composition, photo is a bit too sharpened (i feel it'll be better if the leaves where ot fade into the air, a bit more smoother feeling). 7 paganini
