Autumn remembrance

My first critique is just to be written; deep breath and here we go.

The image caught my eye, gotta say.
The topic is popular lately, due to the autumn being here. The thumbnail seemed just like, as I call it, 'just another boring autumn shot'. Yet, surprisingly, it's quite a different approach on the topic.

Nice focus, with perfect lighting and sharpness just where it should be makes the photo stand out. The water drops being just a soft touch make it quite unique, compared to the tons of autumn leaves shots.

The only thing that bothers me is lighting, wether it's natural or not. Whatever it is, it looks great.

To summarise, the photo is an outstanding one, being ways better than the other shots based on such concept. And it's not easy to take popular topic to the hight level. The photographer did really well!
