    I like this ...but why?

    I have no idea why I am attracted to this image ...any thoughts? Does it work? Pointless?

    Seems a bit top heavy , but I like the shallow DOF and the way the main leaf is well lit and sharp.

    Isn't it a cool thing in nature that the colours never seem to clash...

    I have no issues with you editing my photos

    Probably pointless to most people who were not there. This looks too busy to me. I would either pick one or two leaves to shoot close up, or stand farther away to shoot the whole scene.

    I like the back light coming through the leaf. In fact I love that! But the composition doesn't do a whole lot for me. The out of focus stuff at the top is distracting from the part I really like. Cropping out some or a lot of the top might help. Maybe even a 16x9 and if you can get the twig coming out of the corner and leading to the subject that would be good too IMO.

    Sometimes you don't need to find words, you just feel things.
