Life Blood of Autumn II

All comments welcome

great detail and perfect color. I like the way you've composed on the diagonal as well. Could go either way on the non-leaf parts though. Thought about composing/cropping to leave (no pun intended) them out? I usually opt to do so in my own leaf shots, but I kinda like the way the add a slightly different color here. Decisions decisions :-) Nice work!

Phooey, this was supposed to be the cropped version with those areas on the left gone. Oh well.

beautiful color. i love the little bit of brown on the top right; it makes a nice design element. the spots on the left don't bother me, because, the lines of the leaf lead me directly to the top right.
