What an excellent shot! The details in the leaf are so exquisite, and the contrast from the colors work very very well! I like Phil's interpretation of life and the world.
*****What a unique blue creating a sea of tranquility for a dying leaf. The golden warmth of the leaf heralds the last vestige of life. Beautiful image.
***** A spectacular match of primaries. The blues are gorgeous, the yellow faded and vulnerable. The story of life -- we are all this leaf, while the earth abides.
Definitely another eye catcher with the contrasting colors, and the unusual blue with the yellow leaf. The simple composition helps the eye-catching factor be successful.
