I love this photo. The richness of those earthtone colors -- and the simple composition. Just Beautiful.

Excellent rich colors and fantastic details. I love how all the grains play against one another. This would make a great print in my estimation. I think there is zen to be found here, despite all of the areas of interest. I like the focus though I wish it were enough to get the entire leaf in the front as well just so the details of it were in play. I like the earthy colors and the water droplets definitely add something to the image. I would suggest cropping about a half inch off the top though, right about where the stem to those helicopter leaf things is. That leaves enough of a space above that it wouldn't look cramped, yet removes what I see as distracting that lighter portion where the bench ends. It also still keeps the screw visible which I think is a nice touch. I gave a 7 and added as a favorite.

I like the texture of the wood and the overall feeling of this shot.

I like the colour of the leaves against the dark of the bench and you have captured some nice detail in the wood, I would maybe have tried to simplify this a little more by removing the leaves in the lower right corner (MHO)

A very pretty photo, and the subject matter is very minimal. However, there is just too much there, too many leaves, too much graininess in the boards, for it to be truely a quiet photo. It is very pretty though!

I really love simple and evocative images like this. This still life is very rich in tones and textures. Its composition does indeed evoke a peaceful feeling. 8
