I see the idea but the picture turns to me too busy. The backround brightness/color is about the same as of the main theme and this is rather disturbing. Possible solution could be to use fill flash for the foreground (which darkens the backround) and increase the distance between foreground/backround. You could also remove brightness/add blur to the backround with PP. About the comp: my feeling is that the upper right area introduces some imballance. The color tones are great, it's very pleasing to find and shout such substances! Cheers, MCsaba

I love the colors in this image but wonder why I don't find the composition compelling. It certainly is a reasonable composition. I suspect that the best focus is the leftmost clump of leaves while the eye is drawn to the center where some leaves are over exposed a tad. Perhaps cropping just a tad from top/bottom/right would help? Or a bold crop of just the end clump. Not sure. Nice photo though, Cliff
