I thinlk if you had cropped tighter to the left and right it5 would have complimented the glass better. but it is still a good strong image well done

That green is crazy, it's actually a little too overpowering for me, but I like the idea.

A yellow apple would have been really sharp in this. the red seems to dark.

Nice and simple I'm usually up for those but this one just doesn't say much to me. Here's how I would have improved on this photo (yes I know it's too late but...) I would have offset the leaves to the right since the leaves are bending towards the left (they basically would be moving into the frame) the centre composition just doesn't work here. Also really too bad the top of the leave was cut off a step back and/or two would have caught the whole things nicely and last but not least I find that the leaves are over-exposed from the sun ... almost white. Remember it is must my humble opinion only nothing more... good luck with the challenge.

Very simplistic. Interesting shapes and good DOF. Unfortunately the highlights are a little blown out and there is not alot of detail left in your main subject.

while this subject does have potential, it does need a little tuning. the harsh light has washed out most of the details in the leaves. as a rule centered subjects really need to command the image; here, the background is in direct competition with the subject--there's too much background and not enough subject. from a challenge standpoint, you would want your images to capture and keep the viewers attention. here, the technical deficiencies make this easy to blow by. but, even if the image was corrected for those, you would still be faced with the prospect of an image that is a bit less than compelling. before you submit to a challenge, ask yourself, \"is this something i personally would want to be my pc's wallpaper for the next week?\" ask yourself, \"does this image really rock me, or am i just entering to have something in the challenge?\" it's one thing to be looking to improve your photography, it's a different thing to be looking to improve your ability to compete in challenges. if you are a member, use the portfolio space to get comments and to make improvements. trying to do it soley through challenges puts you in a position of not necessarily getting enough comments to really help improve in either way. hope this helps some, good luck in the future!
