Nice colors and a good clear shot.

The images that always suffer from a lack of comments are the ones that are right in the middle ground. Everyone comments on the awesome shots. Some comment on the bad shots. But the middle ones, very few people say anything. So here I am to explain why I voted a 5:

I actually think this is a decent shot. It's nice and sharp (fyi: blurriness in the subject itself is the #1 reason that I've dropped an image below a 5). It's not a macro shot. But it is "fairly close". I think that closer still would have helped. Get right down to one leaf. Isolate the subject and make it important. In this case, there are 3 somethings to look at so it sort of splits the attention. The color is kinda cool... I've never seen a leaf that color before and so, as images go, it's fairly interesting. But as for the "macro challenge" I could only call it average. Get in a little closer next time and I'm sure you'll score higher. Hope this helps.

Interesting colors and composition. Other than a couple of hot spots, I think it's a great shot! Really nice work.

Lovely. Would like to have seen the bottom leaf without the pine needle though. You have probably already noticed this. The pink is nice.

nice composition but, there is too much unbalanced emptiness on the lower right side.

Is this infrared? I like it. The black background is quite effective in giving it pop. The lighting on the leaves is well done.

Good rich texture on the wagon. The flare in the lower middle isn't appealing. I would consider cropping everything but, the wagon even if it meant you didn't get the entire wagon in the shot I think it would be much more dramatic that way.

I feel pretty dumb - had to look at this 3 times before I figured out that this is an umbrella. The lighting is nice and even throughout. 6.

Even a colorblind person like myself can figure out this one ...
