Greetings from the Critique Club:
Hi Jacqui,
Firstly this obviously meets the challenge title, so were are off to a good start :o)
Composition:
I like how close you have got to the acorn but feel the background has too much going on in it. If possible I would have tried to move the leaf in the bottom left side of the frame as this for me is the main distraction.
The shot may also have worked better as a portrait with the the leaves in the top left hand corner and the acorn coming down into the middle/lower third of the picture if you see what I mean.
Technicals:
I agree with the comment below, the lighting is a little flat. A brighter day with a bit more natural light on the subject would have really helped this but maybe further adjustments of Levels/contrast would also help to lift the colours.
I am a little confused about your reason for using Gaussian Blur? I am not sure if maybe by using this you have given the overall image a slight soft feel. Your aperture was 5.6 so you should have quite a shallow depth of field, maybe an adjustment to the point of focus may have helped.
My Personal Thought:
Some better natural light and a little work on composition and this may have scored better.
If you've got any questions about this critique, please feel free to contact me via the PM system.
