Horror Vacui / I recall the title of the picture :)

Read themselves! I recall the title of the picture
_______________________________________________________________

Very nice, lots of depth giving the 3d effect.
------------------

Well-focused, lovely tonal values.I realize that the intent is disorganization and randomness but perhaps a bit of organization would not have detracted - one element or another placed as a focal point or a line of elements somewhere to lead the eye.
------------------

I like the photo very much.
I'm guessing you did not rearrange anything in this image as it appears perfectly natural.
I'd like to see a little more contrast
It looks a bit over sharpened.
I'd crop a little from the left and bottom.
------------------

You might wish to submit your photos to the Photo Critique area prior to submitting for judging into PEG. I do not see what makes this photo exclusive and there does not appear to be any "WOW" factor.
------------------

Generally I'm not a big fan of dead leaf compositions. But this one has some interesting cans and what appear to be glass jars incorporated in the scene....which I think add interest to this still life.

I've returned to this photo a few times now. Every time I look at it, I see something else. I like it.

Technically well done...exposure and sharpness are very good.
------------------

too random and visually uninteresting
------------------

I appreciate what you were trying to do. Unfortunately I would not have figured out your subject was the junk until you said it. I thought you were concentrating on dried up leaves. To feature the rusty junk items, get down very close and place one of two objects in the immediate foreground for more impact. More, this would be an excellent candidate for shallow DOF instead of the stopped down effect you've achieved here. Good luck.
------------------

I see why you like it, it has so many textures and colors. As a fine art image it unfortunately lacks enough balance and cohesion to bring it all together. Just too many objects that can be interpreted as a main subject, yet none differentiate themselves enough to take charge.
------------------

Sharp and timeless!
------------------

Very nice textures and tones. There will be some that do not like the general subject matter, so don't be surprised if this is rejected. I find it quite nice.
------------------

Nice idea, but B/W will do it for me. Tuff to judge composition as there is a lot of junk ...funny! Still good picture though.
------------------

Don't see a focal point of interest. Nice colors, and sharp image.
------------------

Like this one a lot.
