Autumn's Pallette

Not exactly flowers, but still striking in color and texture. YOUR opinion?

Thadd, both the colors and textures are very nice indeed, an sit so well on the black b/g. there is a problem here at least for me, that being your image looks contrived. i realize most images are indeed contrived, maybe the secrete is making them look as if their not.

Beautiful colours, butI agree with Roger, the arrangement of the leaves is not like anything you would see in nature. Try dropping a handful from a few feet above and see how they look. You will probably have to do it a many times and remove leaves that really strayed, but you might get something that looks good. Some of the leaves at least should have their reverse sides up and have their stems pointing into the image. The issue is, which ones?

I too, agree with the above comments but a nice selection of fall leaves.

I know it is arranged but i still like it very much (6)
