Nice composition, but the leaf is just a tad forced for my taste. Also great foreground focus and good use of depth of field. If the leaf had been arranged to look as if it had fallen, I would have rated this much higher.

A 'nice' shot in every sense of the word. Leaf makes it look far too staged in my opinion. Also the object on the left is a bit out of focus. All that wasted revision time as well :)

Nice composition, I wonder how this would look without the leaf, looks too staged like this, mabey it could have been lying on the ground instead? good luck :)
Leaf is a little out of focus. Might have overdone the unsharp mask. Bit brighter and a bit more colour might have helped make it stand out too.
Apart from all that, it's great.
