Greetings from the Critique Club :)

I think this is an excellent shot. I must admit however I am not very familiar with the Korean culture. So I can't say how well this paticular photo fits the month. While this image has very powerfull lines and balance. The edge of the yellow leaf (wich i'm assuming is the ginko) is a bit out of focus. The other leaf the maple I beleive is the primary trouble maker in this paticular shot. It appears to be grainy and lacking in detail. I would like to have seen more of the veins that run through it.

I think the yellow in this image may be slightly overpowering. I usually try use a variety of colors unless there are many contrasts and details within the photo to keep it interesting. While this is intitialy a good shot. There is just not enough to keep me interested for any period of time.

The perspective of this image, IMO, needs some depth so it does not give the impression that your subject is completely flat. I feel that with a little more definition by picking up more of the lines in the top leaf. Then little playing with the colors, or perhaps trying it with B&W this might have had a shot at a ribbon.

One thing I can definitely tell from this image is that you have some talent. Don't be afraid to do a lttle editing. I doubt a single ribbon has been won in here without at least a lttle bit of it. I can however respect and admire the fact that you were trying to pull it off. I hope to see what work you will come up with in the future.I also hope that my comments were at least a little helpfull. :)

Kudos on an excellent shot :)

Very interesting detail, pitty that the bottom is cropped. Little less centered composition would also help...

I think there's too much negative space at the top of this photo. Less space at the top, and the 640 height would have helped bring the stadium into a far better focus.

Not sure about the cropping. A bit tight for me. Good backlighting.

Nicely composed. I would have lost the bottom part of the image and upped the contrast a little. Their is a definate "flatness".
The highlights along the bottom edge detract fom the highlights on the fruit itself.
Still nice though

Good idea, but the image feels quite out of balance and for me, it throws the rest of it all off.
