botanical - other New Growth 2

very beautiful work!well done!

This is a pretty strong abstract image, I like it! The color is excellent, especially when you dig in a little deeper and see the subtle reds and oranges and yellows. The composition is quite strong, symmetry doesn't always work, but in this case I think it does. The fact that the symmetry is slightly broken by the surrounding leaves probably helps.
The one trouble I have is that, while the visual center is quite clear (I think it's the tip of the leaf, upper center) all the lines lead away from that, down to the bottom center and out of frame. This means that my eye, at any rate, has to do a little hunting around to find where to settle. Maybe that's good in an image this austere, I'm not sure.

Efim, thank you for your comment.  Andrew, thank you very much for your insightful critique.  You have provided a different perspective, one that had not occured to me before, which is what I am looking for in the critique forum.
