good depth-of-field, and I like the slight over-exposure. Nevertheless, the narrow field of view stretches the concept of landscape a bit too much for my poor conservative brain to grasp.
While this is a nice shot - certainly gives me the feeling of autumn and approaching winter- I don't think it meets the challenge. When I think of landscapes, I think of intimate settings in the woods or by a stream or a broader view of mountains, lakes, and rivers. The same is true with cityscapes - a broader view than say just a sidewalk or planter. I would have voted this higher in a different challenge.
You've got good detail on this photo. Some of the lighting seems a bit harsh (some blown highlights) which takes a bit of the color away from the leaves. But you have a lot of texture going here which is cool to look at. Maybe try adjusting the Levels a bit darker to bring down some of the whites.
The highlights seem blown out and the colors have a bluish hue. Also, while it's a different take on a landscape and in that way creative (which is good), the composition and subject matter aren't.
Fall leaves are always a nice. Your photo is very busy and for me, there isn't any one focal point. It seems a bit over sharpened. I would have scored this higher if it was in the recent "busy" challenge.
