Beautiful. A shot full of emotion and expression. The soft colors are lovely and your choice of viewing angle creates an illusion of fire or flame. Simply gorgeous.

Beautiful. When the page first came up on my monitor, the bottom leaf was excluded due to the portrait crop and my attention was captured by the middle leaf on the right (deep shadow relief). It was some time before I realized I wasn't seeing the full image and scrolled down. Though it's a lovely composition, I almost think it would have been stronger with more negative space (the black background is extremely strong!). All in all, a beautiful photograph and one very worthy of a high finish!

Outstanding play of light and shadow. The lack of a clear focal point may hinder you some but I think it is a striking image. Nicely done!

As a fan of "lonely" shots and that isolated feel, your image works for me. A great response to the challenge, and a lovely choice of title. Long live S&G!

This is just a great shot. The simplicity masks a brilliant composition and crop. The black background is outstanding. Captures the spirit of the challenge too, IMO. Great job.

Absolutely delightful. Good for you, having the eye and imagination to "see" the potential in a shot like this. Meets the challenge perfectly IMO. I'd have liked to see the overall brightness of the image upped a bit and possibly a bit more saturation to make the colors really pop. Excellent job.
