Winter Leaf

The mottled background has a wonderful texture, but I would have preferred if the leaf was a bit sharper/crisper. It looks like you oversaturated the colors because the branch is cyan.

You get an extra point for having such an unexpected, yet fitting, title for a subject that is entered several times a week here. Thanks for spicing up this building abstract with an interesting title.

I would have preferred a tighter crop on the left side so that the bird wasn't pinned so close to the middle.

I assume you cropped this way because there was something on the ground that wouldn't have looked nice in your image. Still, I can't help but wish the crop had been moved down a bit to see what's going on down there at human level too.

Fall Frontier

Comment:
Although this scene is beautiful, I think you tried to include too many things in it, which makes the image feel a bit cluttered to me. I would have cropped it just to the left of the road to keep the road and the right half of the image. That part of the image has light hitting it, which adds interest and makes that part of the image brighter and more attractive to the eye. The crop that I described would also make the road more of a leading line while putting the steeple on the third line to balance out the vertical of the road.

Autumn Morning Cloud

I didn't notice the clouds until I read your title. I was distracted by the distortion, which makes me think the distortion wasn't a good choice for this image since it takes away from the part that you wanted the audience to focus on.

I don't particularly understand the title, unless you're referencing the skinny legs of the person on the right, but I think this is a wonderful image. The black and white works perfectly, the composition is great, the depth of field is spot-on, and the moment is really intriguing. I love the small boy on the left. Great job!

The tones on this are just perfect. I love the texture of the reflection in the water. The HDR is definitely not overdone in this one. The blue hue is a nice touch too. My top pick in the challenge.

I think I would have liked this one better in black and white.
