The first colors of fall were just starting to show when I took this. I like the way the leaf emerges from the background. I like rich colorful backgrounds, that to me, are as important as the subject. Or perhaps the background IS the subject. The rest is just there to give relief from the intense colors of the background.

The soft BG colors and the curves and the shape of the subject are very pleasing.

I would have cropped to give the subject more space and at the same time to show more BG.

I didn't have much "wiggle" room in the upper left hand corner. Here's an alternative in which I liked the leaf placement a little better. Also shallower DOF. Colors not as intense though. Not sure which I like better.
