Using a magnifying glass to enhance the details of the leaf is a great way to bring out the theme of the challenge in this shot. I like how the color of the leaf inside the glass is more green than the leaf to the right of the shot and how lighting them from behind gives them a sort of translucent quality. Very nicely done.

Yes, I think this is an excellent way to meet the challenge. Seeing things under a magnifying glass is a great analogy for a lot of what science is about. And it looks great in this shot, lovely colours and composition. I think a lot of science is also about studying the inert and dead to understand the living, so autumn works very well for you here.
Score: 10
Edit: my favourite shot this challenge.

Originally posted by Dave Gordon: What a beautiful town square. The guy at the right might have been a real asset if you'd caught him sooner. As it is, he seems to be walking out of the phtoto - and taking me with him.

It would have been nice if the guy would have walked in. But I think that a person or a tree in that exactly spot is a must, for the balance of the picture.

Feel you would have done better in natural color. Like the overall photo but the tones pull down the grade by 2 points.

Very good photo theme! Picture needs to be rotated slightly to the right.
