Critique Club Review:

Interesting photo. Great focus and depth of field. Detail is held well throughout the image.

Color, saturation, and hue are very good. Lighting, brightness, and contrast are excellent as well.

I like the detail in the leaves. You can spend a fair amount of time wandering around looking at the detail in each one.

Originally I though the sky was a bit empty. But upon reflection, I think this works best the way it is. All the rich variation of detail and colors in the leaves is the key here. Anything else would be distraction.

I'm afraid I don't understand the "(ler)" in the title.

Backlighting is very nice here and your exposure is dead on. The title is pretty lame and ruins an otherwise nice mood this photo creates in the mind. Unique composition. Good luck.

The blue is a bit on the noisy side but the overal idea is quite good.
