Nice compo. You seem to have picked out the different coloured leaf, that works too.
Would have preferred it with a different coloured framing though :) Perhaps black?

I agree the green border looks horrible... :)
I was too lazy to change it. had already exported to JPEG... Maybe when i get the motivation i'll change it... :)

Liked the diagonal composition. The green BG adds to the image. It looks like a greeting card cover :). Wish the leaf on the right corner was not there.

I agree with the previous comments about the border and that leaf on the right.

The same scene when captured with a longer lens would look different. For eg. if you use a 300mm/400mm and move back to get the same scene, you will have a flatter perspective. A more out of focus background would have been good. However, you were at your widest lens opening. Keep on experimenting.

Cheers,
