Fits the challenge but that title makes me not want to like it. I rather have thought that this was found and you composed it well within that scope rather than think of it as a setup shot, which demands more scrutiny. Anyway, I'm just rambling. In a challenge where most didn't get it and this one did, I can't take off much for my bias. Good luck.

I think this would be much more powerful if it filled the frame a little more (ie. getting rid of some of the distracting background elements). The leaf itself is wonderful for this challenge.

Nicely done. Perhaps zooming in on the leaf a little more may have been good. I find my attention divided a bit between the leaf and the large timber on the left.

Sharpness and clarity on this is great.

I like the shape of the leaf and the diagonal leading line of the pipe. Nice, subdued tones, too.

Interesting shot. I like the color and contrast in the shot. This has some focus issues in my opinion, but a good shot.

I like the composition, the colour of the leaf is gorgeous. But I'd also like to see the leaf closer, it looks beautiful and I'd love to see the textures in more detail. It's really crying out for a macro shot.

I like that sickly green against the cold grey and dark browns. Composition is strengthened by the diagonal of the pipe and placement of leaf works well in that. Texture and shape of leaf is just beautiful.
