I absolutely love the light, the washed colors save for the red legs. It's a story to behold. I gave this a 7.

I was wondering what this spate of comments was about!

Thanks everyone.

Found it! Took me a while to find the one in two images!
Now these are images to be discussed!

The Bear got some milage out of this leaf.
The monument, the one on the left, I couldn't care less although the details at the bottom of the leaf are marvelous, a vintage Bear!The idea per se is not bad at all and I wouldn't be surprised if we'll see soon real iron and steel monument on the street. It could be nice. Quite striking. But here, as a photo I do not like it. (I gave it a 5)

Now the second one is a different story. It does have the feel of a possible overleaf for a Conrad novel, for instance. The leaf is now a torn sail. The stories that it could tell!

The Monument one's a shoehorn. I had nothing, so I improvised, because I wanted something. The Memory one's talking about Alzheimer's, which I'm now being treated for. But the FIRST use of this leaf was in "Foliage", which is what I shot it for. It's a smallish Hosta leaf, and I stuck it in the top of my car door to shoot it with the sun behind it.

Bear,
A leaf and a boat, what could be more appropriate to describe the human condition?
Perhaps also a blue sky, for hope.
I do not mean to derail this thread so I offer for critique an image of a challenge I did not vote for, HDR, of fear of seeing unwanted processing. This IS NOT on of them

It seems the participants in this thread have taken to including their comments here along with the thumbnail. I've worked through a few more this morning:

This is a photo that just reaches out and grabs my attention. Calls me back, and stops me in my tracks as I'm looking through the challenge entries to vote or review after rollover. The quality of light and shadow plays well with the textures, and oddly, the busy-ness of the composition in no way detracts from the central focus on the full leaf in the center lower third. Remarkable.

Melethia
Well done! Fascinating choices in color, blending, still and motion. Keeps me looking.

mariuca
The interesting thing about this for me was the time it took me to even notice the critters. I do find the man on the right to be dominating my attention.

Lydia
This is a strong image for me. Didn't score this challenge, but would have ranked this high. Put me in the camp of not disturbed by the gradient colors, and clear that the railing in front of faces is the distraction. To me the color cast is a counter balance to the sameness of the repeating balconies. There the same, but with a different mood in each one. I'd expect the inhabitants of each unit to be in some way defined by the colors. Congrats and kudos!

I've never seen purple asphalt before, but it works well here as part of a fantasy color palette of iridescent autumn. Nicely done.

Thanks for the in-depth comment, Bill. I've responded and linked to a revision (which I hope you can see - let me know if you can't) in the thread on the image.

I'm a decent speller, but as with Beetle, I'm a careless reader. Didn't notice misspellings. Didn't score with any language penalties. What I like most here is the isolation of the subject, even in the context of a subway car. It really works for the title film title concept. Not sure I'd want to sit through it, though.

I thought that these misspelled words were on purpose. When depressed everything cracks or craks or raks, descent or decent or cent for that mattaer matter.
But I did not like the image, the processing, the font or the poster. Gave it a 5 for the idea behind it.
In this forum it's not only praise, that's why we placed our names on the list
