Great sharpness and contrast with an interesting background. But not enough interest overall. Perhaps from closer up the curves of the leaf would develop something more interesting than it does as a whole.

is it? do leaves undergo oxidation when they turn brown? (honestly curious)

Very nice picture. It is a stretch for this challenge, but it does seem to look rusted.

Nice stretch on the word "rusted" for this challenge. Definitely think it fits and is unique. Nice tree detail while still making me focus on the leaf!

great idea for something that isn't metal and rusting .. nice to see something different .. I would have been better if the leaf was more red.

And so perfectly photographed. A 10. It makes a joke of gravity, but in a very artistic way.

The focus is nice and the contrast, but I felt it was a stretch on meeting the challenge and no real draw or focus for the eye.

i guess maybe i need to keep a more open mind but i was looking for iron oxidation :) imho you could have contrasted the leaf more with green material or the blue sky to really bring out the color contrast. After relooking at your pic i'll have have to rescore it higher since you helped me reevaluate my idea of this challenge

I'm assuming the tree has fallen? The leaf appears to be defying the law of gravity! I like it.

How lovely, one of my favorite shapes in nature. I am truly moved by your entry. Are you single by any chance?
