Comment from Ruth Carll
Nice image with respect to meeting the theme. The image is well done technically. Exposure and focus are spot on. If I may suggest a thought for the future, square format works well for centered composition and subjects that fill the frame. I think a landscape format with an off-centered leaf would compliment this subject better. However, the image meets the theme and is nicely done. Best wishes and good luck!

A fine shot that is artfully cropped. The colors are perfect for this contest and the leaf adds just the right focal point. Best of luck in the voting.

Very nice entry for this contest, I like the autumn leaf floating on the clear water and the view of the pebbles on the bottom. Well focused, this image is clear, exposure is correct, the colors and tones appear natural. Well composed and presented! Best wishes to you in this contest!
