Not unpleasant, if slightly orthodox, exactly-what-you'd-expect kind of shot. I wonder if you might not have strengthened the tonality of the hanging leaves a little, they seem a touch washed-out for impact. Strong sense of composition, however.

Nice image - Like the soft tones and the wonderful leaves. Find that moving a little right would have stopped the person from blending in with the posts which are a little distracting - I know it;s not always possible but I think the young guy in sports wear doesn't do this justice with the wonderful old feel to this and mature trees. Just seems like an older person wearing a coat or something would have been just a little more fitting.Nice lighting too.

Great job Mak. I can see so much detail go into this and you put all together very well. For this challenge, you're in great company in the top20.

I cannot belive it did not even make it in the top 10. I am surprised to say the least.

Nice finish MAK - I am surprised it didn't get at least top 10. This is outstanding stuff and has just the feel I was thinking about for Brothers Grimm...
