I really like the composition here and the colors in your print. The color of the real leaf almost perfectly matches the color of the wood in the desk. Might be nice to see a red or a green leaf. Just an idea; what you have is also very nice. 8, just-married

The photo coming off the printer is wildly great! Can you do it again for next week's challenge? If the leaf and the table top weren't so close to the same color, this would be fantastic. Upgraded to 9. Swash

Your creativity and talent should be evident to all with this one! The pink leaf (with the imprint of the yellow one on the third lobe) is sublimely placed. Even the way the camera straps seem to "fall into" the "water" near the camera is a phenomenal illusion. Be proud. Be very proud. (If you use your camera for work...you deserve a raise. You've got astounding ability.) crisa58

Nice compositon and colors. Maybe a bit over sharpened here and there. Good luck. Score 7 Justine

Focus - first of all this is a lovely picture. I scored it a 9 - the colours and interest struck me about it. I believe, though, that you've fallen into the subjectivity trap. I mean that because you know what the picture is of you can easily discern what is what. Personally I had to work fairly hard to figure out what was what in your picture. I enjoyed the journey and I love that your negative space is as colourful as your positive space. But aparrently not everyone enjoys or even undertakes that journey. As photoraphers I think we need to either accept that many people will not understand our shot or else add extra visual clues about what is what. I had the same problem with my own "Caught Napping" shot - //www.dpchallenge.com/image.asp?IMAGE_ID=5118
