First Impression - the most important one: Lovely colors in the leaf that are contrasted nicely by the darkness of the background.
Composition: The placement of the leaf and seed pod on the left are lovely. I'm not sure I care as much for the leaf on the right...I might have considered cropping it out. The light shines off it oddly and it pulls attention away from the more lovely part of your photo on the right!
Subject: A good choice of subject, especially when paired with the darkness of the background. The lighting really makes the colors and details of the leaf stand out.
Technical (Colour, focus, and light): Colors in this shot are lovely!! I really like them. Focus looks good as well. The lighting is really what makes this shot here and certainly demands well deserved attention.
To grow its vote?: To grow its vote, I would recommend cropping out the leaf on the right. I think that is likely what hurt it the most. The other aspects of the photo look very nice!
Summary: Technical aspects look good on this shot. Try to be aware of where your eye is drawn and remember that you don't want to include something in the shot that would take the focus away from your beautiful subject! All in all, a beautiful shot, and one to be proud of!! |

| Love the lighting. They seem to float nicely in the air. Very effective use of shallow dof. 8 |

| Yeah, maybe backlighting, but never the less a beautiful picture. The lighting is wonderful as is the focus. |

| The seed pod and the leaf on the right pull focus from an otherwise pleasing composition. |

| Nice contrasts here. The leaf is really emphasized well against the background with the DOF you've used. |

| I especially like what is happening on the left side of this image. In fact I'd suggest cropping off the right one which distracts due to the hot lighting. The colors on the left one are wonderful and so is the seed pod. |

| Yes, this would have worked well in backlighting, too! Nicely done. |

| I like this. I might have cropped out the one to the right. It doesn't really add to the shot. I love the leaf on the left. |
