Greetings from the Critique Club

You have a photo here with a lot of potential. First off watch you don't crop out parts of your subject. It's obvious that the leaf is your subject so why is it missing part of it at the top? It's like cutting off the top of a persons head something is missing.

The other real problem I see with this photo is the fact the floor was wet when you took this photo it just leaves everything to shiny a leaf in the delicate state of being dry and crumbly isn't portrayed when it is wet.

The angle and the colors are to the things you really had going here you captured the colors of the leaf nicely.

critque club--
I like how you happend to have the red not over saturated...that seems to be my problem when i shoot a red rose. the only problem with this shot is too played out if you know what I mean. everyone has a shot of roses, in order to compete in contests like these you must stand out. although the main subject (the rose) is very nicely exposed and the shadows are soft, the light emitted from the trees causes a slight distraction thats not necessary. this picture needs alot more "bam" as emeril would say ;)

Wow it's beautiful! You are a great photographer. I love your idea. Everything is perfect. It's clear, it's beautiful, it's awesome! One thing, the greenish-blue specs on the leaf are a little distracting. Everything else is perfect. Keep up the good work!
