I really like this image. I typically do like pictures of the sun light shinning through leaves but this is one of the better ones. Look forward to seeing more of your work.
As an avid green enthusiast, I definitely endorse this image. There is wonderful work in the capture of complexity and perfect lighting combinations. Kudos!
I like this too. I also think it produces more impact with most of the right side cropped off. The wishbone shape of the branches along the left border, and the distinctive right off-shoot branch with the largest maple leaf, draws maximum attention to the grouping of the well lit, individual leaves.The crop also eliminates the section of white sky, which tends to be a distracting influence.
