Greetings from the Critique Club!
Muwahahahaaa...so we meet again, Marcel ;-) Glad to see I'm one of your 6s. This is a very nice shot, sharp and lots of contrast between the backlit leaves and those in the foreground. Good lighting and colours all throughout. Only problem is, there really isn't a dominant element to act as a focal point and that's where this image falls a little flat. Some commenters compare the leaves to soldiers, and that's both good and bad: they're all uniform, so to speak, and all are doing their best to look exactly like the other.
So what you need is a renegade element to break this perfect symmetry and cohesion and just wreak a little havoc here. maybe one leaf that's way more in the foreground, or one broken off a little or drooping. Something to break up that nice pattern, just enough.

| Fun shadows and lighting. Kind of want to crop it tighter for more detail on fewer leaves, and get a bit more room on top so it's a more vertical composition. Or crop off about the top half. I dunno'; something about the composition just isn't working for me. |
