 This was the last dried up leaf left hanging on the branch. Although it is weathered, I don't know if it looks weathered enough. I hope so...

A beautiful image that certainly deserved a much better result. Not so inusual in DPC . A good occasion to tell you how much I like your photography though.

I was so sure this was yours Irene, as the quality says IreneM all over the image.

Simplicity at it best, and definitely weathered......

I like the subject, not sure about the angle. Still a nice image.

a visually intriguing image and I hope it scores well. It seems that you can see the wind pushing it, but I don't know what it is causing that illusion. Somehow I would like more DOF, but at the same time the shallowness adds to the image. I almost marked this down because the leaf really doesn't look weathered. Great image, wish I had taken it.

simple, clean, and to the point. DOF works really well and like the tones.
