A beautiful leaf and great composition.
My two suggestions would be:
The leaf is so uniform in colour that this macro treatment doesn't bring out as much interesting detail as it might - I wonder if a leaf with more variations of orange, yellow and even maroon might be more interesting?
The water looks a little messy - would it have been possible to dry the leaf off and then add a few droplets manually that retained their droplet shape?
You may have been striving for a more natural feeling of wetness of course, in which case my suggestion is of no interest.

Cool idea. I think the DOF is too shallow, though. Maybe have the entire top leaf in focus with the one(s) behind blurry. Good composition and nice color.

I think it would look better with that black space in the left corner taken out .. colors work well, contrast is good, I think the light bulb could be a bit sharper. 8

I liked this picture a lot. In fact if it had met the challenge I would have given it a 10 hands down. In any event it is a beautiful picture and I have added it to my favorites. Good job on the shot and the person who told you it needs a little sharpening is an idiot.

I like the blue tones and the abstractness of this.

And why not? This is obviously not typically urban so your irony in this shot is its strength. Lighting is good, focus is perfect and the scene looks very tranquil - an inviting alternative to a concrete jungle! [8]

beautiful image, but I wouldn't call this urban.
