I like the lighting in the leaf, but the oof branch doesn't do much for me.  I'd probably crop it in half vertically and then darkent the background a little.

Hi Mike.

Thanks for comments and I knew where you coming from. Personally, i don't mind the branch is oof and branch included as it leads the eye to the focused leaf, instead of paying attention to the whole thing. I think cropping vertically in halve with only the leaf will not work, I'm afriad.

But thanks again for your comments.

Love it. The newborn leaf is fascinating, and the branch is de-emphasized by softer focus, yet it's still making the gesture of 'presenting' the leaf.
