Lovely Autumn colours and the richness of the red bokeh is nice. Good positioning for the shot of the leaf in front of that wee bit of light breaking through.
Very graceful indeed and the choice of background highlights/vignetting complement the subject very pleasantly. I suppose a framing such that the dark area in the background would mimic the golden spiral curve would have fitted the challenge even more (and in a very litteral, perhaps boring way, so probably a bad idea). Very pleasant bokeh. 8 from me.
I so want to vote on this because the colours are great and the lighting but I don't see the ratio. Even after the foliage challenge, this is still lovely. Pity the leaf is torn but it doesn't distract too much. 7
