This is one of your best photos to date. Something so simple, captivated so artistically. The filter adds to the feel and sentiment of the photography. Nice.
Nice photo and finish. (I think you're on to something...the voters like that filter! Of course, you had to start with a great photo.)
Congratulations!
I like the colors and lighting. A very nice autumn photo. It doesn't necessarily give me a sense of celebration compared to other entries in the challenge, but it's a very well done shot. 6
Nice colors! The soft blur/glow works well for me although some people might say it ditracts from the beauty of this image. I would lose the border too (rose border). it doesn't really add much to the image. Just stay with the black.
I love the subject and the focus on the single leaf caught in the rake. Lighting is especially good with very sharp focus on the main subject - the leaf caught in the rake. While this brings up strong imagery of autumn it doesn't quite bridge the gap of connecting it to celebration. There is an element/object missing from the photo such as maybe a pile of raked leaves with the rake resting the wall next to an open window that holds a pie cooling (could be pumpkin pie or some pie which along with the pile of leaves makes us think of fall festivals or even the thanksgiving feast).....hmmm the image could even have a pile of leaves sitting there and two children caught in mid-air ready to jump into the pile of leaves to scatter them everywhere - and of course the expressions on the children's faces would show joy. I hope you see where I am going with the suggestions and examples - there is just something missing to the photo that would make a stronger connection of conjuring up celebratory events surrounding autumn.
this is a nice photo. i like the colour of the leaf and its contrast to the grate/rake/whatever it is. i wish that the selective blur applied around the leaf was a bit more consistent. still, a nice job.
this is one of the best fall macro photos i have seen in a very long time. very nice processing. gotta give this a 10 as i cant find a single thing wrong with it! CONGRATS on a wonderful image and i hope to see this at the top! :o) ~~Cher~~
This has a beautiful warm glow that is so appropriate to the feelings associated with Autumn. There's a sad, mellow emotion involved; every season is its own particular celebration and always has been. Your photograph proves that you understand that very well. 7
I am so ready for fall, it is a great reason to celebrate. What a beautiful oragnge leaf. I love the way a corner of it is sticking into the grate it makes for a very interesting composition. Great job technically.
This is absolutely one of the most awesome pictures in this challenge! The colors and focus are out of this world! The composition is perfect. In fact, it's just an all-around perfect picture! Good luck! 10+
Love the lighting & processing here! You've managed to turn something very ordinary into something quite extraordinary. The color tones are marvelous and I can almost smell the leaves. Great job.
