I like the composition of this "as is" Tom, and the variation in color of the leaves is interesting. Great sharpness and nice lighting too! CJ

I think I get it Rod. Good eye demonstrates how dramatic a 1/2" crop can be. But to my eye is makes a totally different picy and not necessarily a better one.. just different. So I think I'll leave it and post the other version in another challenge. -tv

I love the brown on the leaf I'm just talking about a 1/2" crop off the top Doug which gives a nice juxtaposition of the two leaves instead of looking at the subject only. Just roll your browser up so none of the top of the leaf is showing & see how the picy changes, better for me but maybe not for others as we all see a bit different a.

The brown on the leaf doesn't bother me. I would clone out the brown dot at the top though. -Doug

Thanks Aam you're too generous this time around. Thanks Troy and Rod... but but but Rod I thought you would be proud of me for not cropping this time. -tv

Wait, this is my favorite from you, Tom. Heck, I like both :)

Great Color and Lighting.

The backlighting looks very good but I like the shot better with a crop down so we can't see any of the top of the browning leaf..............I think.
