I think it’s the best photo of this series so far, the leaf is positioned in a twisted way, which adds a pinch of dramatic mood, and the stem is not bleached, but show all its texture.
The composition (!) of all these “portraits” of leaves is sober, but presents the originality of the surface where you put your subjects, I think you used a layer of transparent glass on a brownish background, in all cases the effect, as other noticed, is to show leaves as if they were floating a little.
The whole impression is of an elegant minimalism

This is a superb photograph. The colors are beautiful , as are the textures. I love the composition and the feeling that the leaf is floating. Whoever said it, they shared some wisdom with us, V
