I would have cropped differently. Think less wood!

Very clever title
However, the picture could do with some brightness/contrast adjustments

Nice catch. How much farther back could you get and still get the idea?

Not sure if you could have taken this in a section that did not have a break between boards.

although this is within the description of the challenge ...imo...your backround is more interesting than the subject

I enjoy the contrast in textures and colors...

Simply and nice with a starkness that latches to the spirit of the challenge. Bumping up.

Very nice approach but I find the line where the boards join very distracting. Other than that a good shot.

I think you have a unique image not found in any other submission. I like the shadow of the leaf and the wood colors are very subtle and mutted. I gave it an 8.

I like this. Maybe a bit darker would make it even better.

I like the simplicity and clarity, but I probably would have cropped the left side a good bit, the virtical seam is too centrally located

Excellent

An interesting concept. The color of the leaf immediately draws the eye, and the background avoids being tedious. My only objection is that the joining of the boards at the center draws the eye away from the subject, and the lighter boards on the left are a bit harsh. Cropping or reframing just shy of the seam would have improved the image, even if the subject took up a little more space as a result.

I like how the vertical line breaks up the image while my eye bouces between the leaf and it.
