I love #2 - I can get lost looking into it. #3 on the other hand doesn't work for me - the leaves are too small and there are too many of them. It is too busy. Maybe #2 makes it weaker by comparison than it would be on its own ... dunno but I know #2 spoiled me for it. Thanks for sharing Ecke

I like the concept and the rendering,, but the perspective doesn't work for me. I feel a need for both horizontals, top and bottom to be aligned with the horizontal axis. If it were mine, I would apply a PhotoShop transformation to correct that. While I like the vignetting in the leaf photos,
