Nice textures in the leaves. Why the 800 ISO?? Was this a really dark day.....I'm inquisitive.

its funny but i didnt think sycamore trees grew in lobster . thought the soil was too salty or something . well you learn something new every day .. dead dry leaves really lend themselves to photography .. love the way they stand out against the soft focus background ... i'm imagining reaching in and grabbing them .. and the excellent crunchy sound they'd make if i squashed them in my hands or trod on them ...

Nicely seen. I love the mood looking down the hall and the mystery created by the wreath and Santa / Elf on the other side of the smeared glass door. I also think it's neat that the reflection of the wreath and door are in the picture on the wall too.

You've achieved good tones with your b/w. I do agree with some of the other folks saying it's a little creepy. Some of us may have seen Puppet Master a few too many times though.

I like the stark angles of the walls, door and pictures on the wall juxtaposed with the roundness of the wreath on the water glass style door. FUN! I love black and white.

I love the light. Black and white was the perfect choice for this image.

Love the leading lines of the hallway and the eerie feel of the santa sitting in the wreath through the opaque glass.
