I agree - a very subtle image and an interesting counterpoint to the technicolor Fall Color stuff.

I've looked at this several times and like it better every time I look at it (so I'll change my score from 9 to 10). :-)

There's a certain kind of rugged realism about this image which I admire greatly. I can feel the damp and cold of the setting you captured this image in just by looking at it and in that regard you have achieved quite an effective image. But acknowledging your skill and the capture itself, personally, I'm afraid I don't like it. The image seems flat and dull to me. I don't think it would be fair of me to rate it given that you have so many admirers for your image and I don't want to rain on your parade.

Although

I think the 'flatness' of the illumination does convey the dank leaf mould of a wood, I do find the composition a bit messy.

I don't know if you grabbed a shot or did a bit of gardening and perhaps it doesn't matter. The left hand leaf separates the main leaf from the confusion with its beautiful silvery/metallic appearance, however the bottom right corner of the main leaf bleeds into the smaller leaf.

I thought I remembered a previous comment, which seems to have gone, about the stem of the leaf. I would like to have seen the end of that stem.
