I don't have shutter and aperture data for this shot, so it is approximate. Just a shot of the leaves against the edge of the sidewalk near my apartment unit.

It seems quite soft and flat, as if the lens had flair (unwanted reflections on the front and internal elements) possibly caused by reflections off the white wall on the left.

You might have been a bit close too, so focus is not optimum.

Pic a bit dull/soft and not sure what the subject is....concrete/grass overwhelming the leaves. Try taking pics of leaves under a tree just before sunset if possible.
Might work better. ;-)

Thanks for the feedback. Yes, this was a spur of the moment shot, and I think the sidewak is too washed out. I also need to fix or replace the lens as I believe it's hazy.
