Red Leafby
BrinComment by ericwoo: Hey there from the Critique Club
Camera Work/Technical: Excellent focus that produced some very nice and very, very crisp lines. The color that you managed to reproduce is beautiful and remarkably vivid. I also like that the eye really only sees three colors in this one; the red, the white, and a burgundy. The technicals are the strength of this image, in my opinion.
Lighting: Wonderfully backlit! I like the fact that the light underneath the leaf almost perfectly silhouetted the veins of the leaf.
Composition/Content: Also very nice. I like the angle that you have composed this as the point of the leaf grabs the eye and pulls it right up to the stem, allowing it to roam through the color and leaf veins as it passes.
My Opinion: 5.88 seems a bit low for this one. It is a very common subject, but it was reproduced very nicely. The voters here rarely subtract for images that have been seen before, and this one was done to meet the challenge very well. Had I voted in this challenge, this would have been one of my 6s, more than likely. The voters' average overall is generally a bit more generous than the votes that I give, so I am surprised that this one didn't finish better.
Thank you for the opportunity to provide a critique on your entry,
