Greetings from the Critique Club!

A few things that come to mind about this image has already been commented - the image is a little busy, since there's no natural point of rest to my eye on this one. I think that you could create a better silhouetted leaf with a simple lighting setup, and get a better result, since the sunlight is a bit intrusive (esp. at the right end).

Composition is a subjective thing, and my opinion is that it could be changed so there's a vanishing point or a clearer subject - another perspective could help this image, I think. However, I can only state my feelings about it, and your intention is by far the most important.

You have, however, captured good color and detail here. There are many shades of green color, and a good dynamic range. You state in your portfolio that you want to know your camera better - well, I think you know it pretty well. It's a sharp image with enough depth to cover the entire image (which is appropriate for the composition you chose), it's sharp and clear, and well exposed except that I think you could've chosen another way of lighting. So technically, this is a well done thing. You also seem to know post-processing, as it is not evident in the image what you have done (a good thing, I think).

It meets the challenge, of course, but still, this is a rather wide subject.

Keep on working, good luck at top 10!

I think I would like to see the line stop, some negative space in this shot. And, the lighting you use should be set up by you, so you won't have excessive sunlight in the background :)

I like the varying shades of green.There is a haziness at the right end that bothers me a bit.
