Such beautiful creation! Nice capture of it, and good composition. Colors meet the challenge. Could be brightened a bit.

:-) Rather desperate attempt to put across your relevance. Like it. The photo - not enough definition on the fossils (lighting?), and the untidy positioning of the text is a pity. Made me smile though.

Me thinks the challenge was about the film.

Good subject but background doesn`t look pretty. Would look better on plain background or even grass.

I think, honestly, I would have preferred this without the floaters against the leaves. The colours of red leaf upon green upon the terra-cotta background would have quite sufficed and hit the topic spot-on. The floater additions distract and detract and make it look like you couldn't resist an arty touch that was wholly unnecessary. Mind you, it's a solid base idea and a good photo overall, despite my criticism.

The composition is very good. It is a little flat, though. A little lighting would have brought this out so much more.

This hurts my eyes. I think the saturation is too high or something. The red seems a bit TOO red. The berries aren't really blue. Most of them seem black or deep purple.
I think that they yellow plate would be effective had we been able to see a bit more of it.
The focus seems a slight bit soft to me, and that is probably due to the closeness or the overly bright reds.
It looks delicious, don't get me wrong. lol
I think that if you backed up a bit, maybe tried some different lighting so the reds wont be SO red, this would be a great comercial shot. I dont think that lowering the saturation would work well. You could try it, but it might make it look dull then.

Fossils... right-on, since I missed the movie.
