I like the simplicity of this photo. The upfront leaf in focus against the blurred background. It gives a very smoothing feeling.

I like the achieve rich texture background amd the details of the foreground object. But I wish you had included the means by which these leaves were hanging.

The attractiveness is in the rich gold of the right leaf. The left leaf is duller and damaged. And there is just two much blurred background for me.

I like the way the leaves, the twig and some of the background all seem to have lines that flow diagonally from the lower right to the upper left. It gives the picture some dynamics, which really helps provide interest in a still life. The focus does appear to be just right and the depth of field got the background blurred just right. I see the same uneven blur in the background that Willis mentions. It might be an artifact of the different blurs caused by branches at different distances from the camera. The experiment suggested by Willis is worth doing to see if it is the camera, or the particular circumstances of this one photo.

I like this photo. Looks like the focus plane passes through the branch and slightly in back of the two large leaves. It might be motion blur that's making the leaves look slightly soft, though; did you use a tripod? The most interesting aspect of this photo is its bokeh, that is, the look of the out-of-focus areas. This is something that can vary drastically from lens to lens, though not too many people pay attention to it. In this case, the out-of-focus areas look almost look cross-hatched. How bizarre. The strange bokeh might also be caused by some interaction between the actual bokeh of the lens and the camera's image processing software. I'd try shooting some deliberately out-of-focus photos with this camera, just to see if it was the camera that produced the strange patterns, or if it was just this particular scene.
