Total judging points: 24
Judge's Comments:
#1 This study of color, texture, and shape works. One could say that it has no strong center of interest, but the photographer composed around a single leaf in the center of the image that works to hold the viewer's eye in the image. Compliments to the photographer for making the most of this scene...

#3 This is a wonderful image that is pleasing to look at. The lighting is ideal for the color of the leaves. The image is sharp and the composition is nice for this photograph.
#4 A wonderful pattern image. The pattern is remarkably even except on the left. The even lighting allows details in the shadow areas. A pleasing image to view.
