The newspaper boy hadn't kicked the leaves...

crop out the top ...too much black

Hi Nathan, Here's the cropped version ...you have a point ... it's a matter of taste...I like the large dark space above. It adds that certain suspense.

Great lighting and complimentary colors. I particularly like the mix of natural and man-made elements. "Urban foliage" if you will.

They look like rose petals, almost - you sure know how to treat a paper boy. I prefer your original, though the cropped version is quite pleasant and surprisingly different in feel. Nice job.
