 ugh. banging head against the wall for this challenge. the colors this year were really bland and blah. blah. blah.

I shot a couple of times each week and NOTHING was very compelling. I actually "like" this one -- but have a couple more that I like as well. we'll see. . . .

Simple but striking and well executed technically.

Don't really like the lighting here, I think you have some front on lighting which makes a lot of the shot feel very harsh, especially in the hanging branch.

The wispy flow of the stream or waterfall at the top reinforces the twig on the right which then leads the eye to the leaves on the rock. These are brown and not brilliantly coloured anymore but they do represent that stage of Autumn where things go back to the Earth. All the elements are simple yet contained in this photograph, leading to a circle which flows harmoniously together. The viewing is a pleasure.

I like the idea of this photo, but I wish you had replaced the dull colored leaves with some that still had color.
