I love the title and the composition. I wish there was a bit more focus on the branches though. DPz

You got that title right as well as the photo. If anything would have liked the stem in a little sharper focus, but good as is.

Nice idea and good use of DOF.

Comment by Anachronite:
great DoF and vision to find the shot... might be better from an angle so the shadow of the leaf behind the other is not there...

This picture reminds me sooo much of O'Henry's short story "The Last Leaf", its incredible. From the subject, the painted-like background, to the title! You should find the story and read it! (unless you have a strong aversion to litterature) :) As a standalone picture, its strongly composed, no distracting elements, and the blurred blue-grey background sets a nice backdrop for the fall leaf. Cool!

Nice choice of lighting conditions. The back leaf casting a shadow on the front is interesting. Good composition, too, what with the rule of 3rds and all.
