(i'm just going back over results) One can tell that this is a leaf but it is well shot and the grays are very vivid (if that is a good way to describe [the tone]).

anyway congrats on comming in 326 out of 528 this challenge was a big 1. (so much so that i have just now gone through and seen all the images in there full res.[size]).

This is an interesting take on the leaf shot that is quite pervasive in this challenge...thanks for not calling it 'Autumn Leaf' by the way. I like the dark values in the shot, but I would have enjoyed seeing more of the leaf in focus...I know that's a problem...I couldn't get it on my entry either. 7.

I like how the DoF plays with the lines and creates good different sections of the photo. I would have liked to see a bit more contrast added though

good macro... most of the leaf shots were capturing everything, but this takes a different angle....i like the idea

Nice choice of subject; however, the overall shot is a little dark.

Too blurry up front! Nice tones though.

This is a well composed shot with good contrast. I would like it better with greater DOF, but it came out nice like this as well.
