Good shot. Like the tree trunk back ground.

Lots of detail in the leaf.

Thanks to all who took the time to look  comment.


It's blurry toward the bottom. But you knew
that, right?  Water?


Marnie, the bluury bottom was a reason for me to post - I wanted thoughts 
from others on that.

The blur is from a branch that was out in front of the leaf.

Then my response  is, do something with the blurry bit (so it'll be less 
blurry).

I like the composition.  You might play with the curves a bit, to tame the 
highlights and increase the contrast a bit.

Excellent job!  The shadow works perfectly, as does the separation of
the leaf from the tree.

I like it, nice color and lighting. It's also a peaceful composition.

I find the blur of the branch over the shadow of the leave a little
distracting. It might have been better if the camera were just a touch
higher, but I don't know how that would have affected other
compositional elements.

I'm also on this kick of leaving the middle of my photos empty so
I'd crop it so that the leaf was even more in the upper right,
cropping just above the upper lit branchtip intersecting the branch
shadow, , and just to the right of the spur on the shadow to the right
of the leaf, so the leafe, branches and shadow make a frame around an
empty middle.

Excellent noise level and good performance from that lens. I like the  
concept and execution as well. I agree with Larry about the blur on  
the shadow, apparently caused by a foreground branch. You might just  
PS it out of there.
