Are the baskets out of focus, or is it just my eyes?

If it weren't blurry, 8. However, as-is, 5.

are those handbags? funny window, but I think the focus is a bit off, and I wish more light was on the handbags. Did you use a tripod for this shot?

The effectiveness of this shot is hurt by the lack of a clear focus. Maybe a more dramatic angle would help too.

I am confused. If this was a digital photograph, why not try to take it again when you found out that it was so fuzzy? The lower-side lighting is also quite harsh.

Composition - Nice find for this challenge. I think the colors are pretty good for this challenge. The framing going corner to corner is exactly the way I would've done it (which doesn't make it right by no means). And I really think you found the right leaf for the shot. The biggest problem with this photo methinks is the left side of the leaf is too washed out. There is just too much light IMO to make this come out as good as it could. Which leads me to the next part.

Technical - I would've made the exposure a little shorter. It would've naturally saturated the colors more and also let more of the color show on the left side. Its pretty well focused and I do like the framing. DOF is not a factor in a 2-dimensional pic like this. The focus looks to be a pinch soft on the upper left side and I think that this could be fixed post. Overall its pretty well taken.

Overall - A pretty good shot, but not up to its potential. A faster shutter or a higher F number to cut the exposure value down a little would've been very helpful. I think in shooting 2 dimensional shots like this, I would'nt mess with the Aperture priority mode. I'd have stuck with the Shutter priority or done it manually. There is definitely something here to build on though. Nice work. - Bob

Maybe if you shot the whole window instead of only the top half. The image would have provided a more complete thought about home sweet home .
