This is a really nice shot. I really like the detail that you show us in the acorns. Very nice focus helps the detail to stand out and grab out attention.
I do really like the angle and the framing/cropping are nice as well. You have placed the horizontal line (branch) very nicely within the photo. I like how it doesn't draw our eyes out of the photo, but rather draws our eyes right to the acorns.
Lighting for the most part is really good. If I had to make a suggestion about this photo, I would suggest to try to cut out the white areas around the left edges of the acorns. They seem a bit harsh, but really don't affect the overall impact of the photo. I think this is really nicely done.
Great DOF. The background is nicely blurred as to not be a distraction to the subject, but there is a bright spot just to the right of the subject, that could distract slightly.
Overall very nice.

Very nice. I like the green background. I'd suggest that removal of the leaves in the lower right would be a big improvement. They're a bit distracting. Excellent effort, though.

Great depth of field helps bring out the acorns in the shot. Pretty good details. It helps to make you feel the dipple texture of the acorns. The lighting and shadows makes the shot more interesting.

Beautiful colours, lovely texures and lighting, spoilt a little for me by the chaotic composition. It's not clear what the viewer is to focus on, and there are too many elements leading the eye about. 6

Love the lighting, although the highlights are a bit hot. I would have also been a little closer to the nuts rather than having the leaves on the right as then you would have seen more detail of the nuts. Still, very nice photo.

Nice subject and composition - the line of the branch leaning up to the corner, the other corner framed with leaves. I can't shake the feeling this is upside down - I guess my eyes feel the acorns should hang (even in they really don't) Wish at least the front three acorns were sharper.

this is lovely light on the acorns, the white circle distracts badly from the composition as a whole
