Composition - this is as classic as it gets in terms of composition. Really beautiful the way your focus is directly in that top left corner and there your eyes are kind of naturally led around the picture.
Exposure - great job. Love the way you can see every vein in the leaf. Also there are no overtly bright spots which is much easier on the eye.
Color - Though I like the color, it would be interesting to see what this photo would have looked like in black and white, or possibly sepia. I like how the only color in the photo is really your focus though too... just curious to know how it looks in b/w
Focus - great DOF. I love how the focus is purely on the leaves and the branches fade into the background, gives it a more artistic look.
Background - great job with the blur, and nothing in the background is really distracting which is a great quality.
Fit for Challenge - Free Study, anything goes.
Lighting - very nice... no complaints here
Wowability - this is where you lost a few points with me. though this is a well executed beautiful photo there is no real wow to it. The colors are really dull, and nothing really pops out and says look at me.
Final Comments - an excellent photo that is somewhat boring but pleasant. Nice Job.
