Too much negative space for such a lovely leaf. Great lighting. Average score.

Simple, peaceful, and elegant in that simplicity. Lovely photo.

Nice simple picture, nice lighting on the leaf. I wish there was a bit more contrast between the leaf and branches to make it stand out from the background more. Perhaps more contrast would have given this more impact. If someone is looking through these shots rather quickly they might not stop long enough to really look at the shot and see the nice detail on the leaf.

Comment by glad2badad:
I need (want) a wide-angle lens! :/ This shot came out very nice. Very dramatic sky that works well with the lighthouse. HDR really did justice to this as well, plus you kept it rather light handed and didn't overdo it. Bummer about what they've had to put in place at the base of the lighthouse (to protect it I assume) - the chainlink fence is an eyesore.

Anyway, smile and keep having fun! :D

Comment by Hye5:
I'm not sure if this kind of image is an effective use of HDR. I would prefer to see a fair amount of light drop-off away from the candles. Without that, I think it loses some of the ambience.

IMHO the leaf is a bit too centered ...
