Creative submission. I like the focus on life over death. O think the placement of the branch in the frame works well in this shot. DOF is quite well done.
This is a very classy photo. I especially like the way the reds of the leaves stand out by choosing such a shallow DOF. The border is very fitting and the composition is spot on in my opinion. The only thing stopping me giving this pic a 10 is that the main subject is the tree and not the monuments in the background. Still worth a 9 though.
great shot. I like the interpretation of the category - adding style and color in the forefront - while still capturing the essence of the cat. in the background. nice work.
