I was trying to get some Fall Colors for the theme- Then I got the idea for this picture, where the sun from behind actually revealed me, and I should have been hidden..
I felt it fit the challenge better-

I like the idea, making the classic photographer mistake on purpose! ;) The shot of the tree is wonderful, the colors are vibrant though the light seems a bit bright on the tree itself. I'm starting this one at a 7 but I will be back.
Awesome depth of field and colors. I really like the shadow of the tree, and I love where the shadow of the photographer is located in the composition: as it was a "signature" on the image. 10.
Good Points: composition and colours spot on!
Bad Points: mmm, not sure if this meets the challenge ot not but will vote as if it does. apart from that no bad points technically, just slightly dull ;)
Score:8
This works for me, the photographer, usually hidden, is revealed here and the tree reveals her fall colors. Besides that it's just downright beautiful!
