No sun + increase in saturation would've really helped this picture.

Love that old camera and the old style photographs. This is a great still life and the image grain complements the arrangement. However, I do have some critiques as that I think there are a few things that could improve the visual impact. First off, there is just too much negative space around the main subjects that they 'swim' within the composition. Bring your audience closer to the main subjects so that we can see all the lovely details - especially in that old style camera. Second is that both the foreground (ground) and background just has way too much texture that it draws the eyes attention away from your main focus. A smooth, dark wood table would have been one possible choice to set the still life composition on. An old style secretary desk might have also been a good setting for these arrangement. Point is that the backdrop and foreground could be anything that did not have too much texture and would compliment the objects either by time era or period.

Technically perfect -- wonderful lighting, details, tones and texture. But lacks emotional impact.

I like this very much. Very clever of you to get an Autumn image when it's probably Spring where you are.

I always like stuff on white.

The shadow makes it even more special.

Well done.

Lighting shows off the dry autumn leaf in nice, crisp detail. The white backdrop gives the composition a rather stark and sterile environment though. The stark white does not complement the gold/brown hues with projecting/capturing the mood of autumn but it does show off the leaf with textbook detail. Well exposed and has great details I just think that it needs something more (different color backdrop with warm hues perhaps) to add to the composition.

This should be doing well for you. Simple and effective image that portrays the passing season well. (voted earlier)
