Greetings from the Critique Club!
At first view, I only say a circle of leaves on a blank table...then I noticed the Pi configuration. Though the title helps point in the direction of your theme, it wasn't until I read eqsite's thoughtful comment that I finally "got it". I guess sometimes we all need a little help. :) Is it "uninspired" as one commetor wrote? No. Clearly not. But it is a straight on shot that does take a little work to get to the meaning.
On it's own, it feels like an unfinished idea. The lighting from the side helps to add texture to the leaves but overall it feels flat...mostly evenly lit with little for the eye to explore. To capture the idea of "ancient" perhaps an older looking background...or a purple cloth...would help? To convey the concept of laurel wreath clearly, more leaves closely knit together?
Overall it answers the challenge but, for me, it does little more.
Hope you don't find my comments too harsh...feel free to PM me and let me know if you do. |

| Nice idea, but the colour of the wood really doesn't work for me. |

| This is an interesting take on the challenge. It conures images of laurel wreaths on the heads of ancient greek philosophers. Softer lighting might have enhanced the color and texture of the leaves, and a less modern looking wood background would also strengthen the theme. |
