The out of focus blobs in the background both contradict the idea of aloneness and distract from the main subject. Imho this would benefit from tighter cropping.

Nice DoF here.

I know your dof brings out this solitary leaf but I can see there are other leaves on the tree. IMO this should be shot where there are no leaves to show up in the photo. Otherwise I like it. Just doesn't fit the challenge for me. 4

Great focus and use of light. The colors stand out very nicely against the sky background. Fits the challenge well. I like the simplicity of the image. Well done. 7

I like your DOF in this particular shot. I also like how the vertical aspect of the picture draws attention to your subject.

ooooo pretty! That steel gray around a yellow subject. Even the DOF helps frame the subject. Good work. 10

Excellent use of DOF and rule of thirds. The sharpness of the leaf contrasts very well with the background. It would have been ideal if there were no leaves in the background, however, blurring them still allows the point to be made.

The leaf looks sad. Good picture.

great dof. gives it a tracing paper feel (overlapping images). love the colors.

Nice composition and dof. The little accents of color in the leaves behind the main subject help create a more visual appealing photo.
