What super tree trunks! For me that is what the photo is about - it would work just as well in mid winter as in late autumn as it appears here. Excellent control of what looks like a tricky exposure.

Fisheye Foliage

Cool idea - for me, the boots and foliage are a little too far away - might be worth retaking with the camera held closer to knee level.

An interesting, graphical take on the subject. I like the way that you have separated the tree form its environment, focussing on shape and form. I rather wish that there was less detail in the grass.

HA, very cute. Unlike some other photos in the challenge, this very well photographed capybara (?) is completely relevant, with its interaction with the foliage. Super work. 8.

The perfect S composition, pleasing play of light and pretty good detail given the difficulties presented by the 700px limit. A photo to be framed for your wall. 8

Oh my goodness, this is just lovely. A beautiful composition (although the railway line does draw my eye out of the frame, so docking a point), lovely tonal range, delicately processed. 8

Super capture of a heron, but the foliage in the foreground (identified by your title) seems completely incidental to the photo.

Gorgeous rays, I particularly like the way they light up the grasses. I am not so keen on the trees in the background - they seem to have been processed separately to the main image, with a confusing patch of mist and some disconnected grass heads - something just seems 'off' a tad.

Hibiscus with foliage

Comment:
An interesting flower and you have captured the striations and ruffles. The foliage is very much incidental to the flowe, and as such the photo is at a distinct disadvantage in this challenge. I would urge you to explore different framings - get down low, level with the flower, shoot upwards, across, try with more of the environment included in the frame.

Sums up today perfectly! A 'found' image - a record shot - that perfectly illustrates the dismal, wet autumn day and suggests the miserable dark days of winter that will follow. (It's absolutely p***ing it down here...)
