I think that you should have concentrated on either the leaf or the blind and you would have had a much stronger photo

Wonderful tones and detail in the leave. I like the contrast between the organic leave veins and the parallel lines of the background. The shadows aren't really front and center, but still a strong image.

I think this is one of the best for this challenge. Pretty simple composition, but subjects are selected perfectly to show shadows and they are lighted well. Contrasting textures and forms works very well too. Maybe very dark spot on the leaf is too dark. Anyway, excellent work.

Good shot overall. Technically excellent and visually interesting. I find myself wondering "why a leaf?" and there is something about its shape that imo detracts from the image, but I enjoy the light on its veins. I wonder if it would have been a stronger image with some separation between the base of the leaf and the adjacent dark area, just a thought. 7
