Description

Walking down the wood walkway I heard a cry. As I approached the cry got louder. "Shoot me" it said. For soon I will wither and turn grey like the others who have come before me. I shot and captured this leaf in its blazing glory of colors. "Thank you" I heard it whisper as I walked away.

Hah hah, I like the concept behind this one. I often get pleas of, "shoot me! shoot me!" from my surroundings. As far as the composition goes, I would crop it a bit closer together...keep the surrounding dead leaves in, but cut out the empty space around the edges.

Very simple but nice and effective....very good use of selective focus....lovely combination of colors...the centered composition works well here...good work!

I love the way the leaf is lit, drawing attention to it's self. I like the composition, but would like it even more if the leaf was slightly off centre.

I think it's awesome that you even saw to take this shot that many would haven't looked at twice. The lighting here is wonderful and that there is bright color in only the one leaf makes this very interesting.
