just like a panting..very awesome. the angle of the shot of these leaves and colorful background is awesome. the clarity is excellent. the capture of the light is perfect. very strong initial impact that grabs the viewers eye. the image is well balanced and very eye appealing to the viewer. awesome work overall(clapping)

I love what you've done with this shot of the fallen leaves - I like how you arranged them on the purple mat with the back light shining through. Love the background. Excellent composition. Good luck in the contest. Suzanne

The use of light is extraordinary. It is hard to say where the reality ends and the brushed background begins. This game of light and shadows is very intriguing. The colors are harmonic and eye-pleasing. The balance of positive and negative space is exquisite. The creation is excellently framed.

This is absolutely stunning - good composition, and great use of light. I love the purples in there - makes for a fabulous mix of colour. Well done.

You have created a splendid effect here with the colors and lighting. The composition and the light coming through the leaves makes me think of a renaissance painting. My admiration! Daphne Oberon
