		| | Hi All, 
 I have two different shots here of the last autumn leaf on a tree. I wondered what people thought of them, which one they prefer, don't like either, etc.... just looking for a little feedback. I know which I prefer, but I'm still not sure of either of them in some respects.
 
 Last to Leave
 
   
 Second Last to Leave
 
   
 All comments gratefully received.
 Cheers,
 Todd.

		| | i like the cropped one better as it looks more 3d, and the details on the leaf are more prominant. 
 the sun glare is a bit strong on the left side.
 
 neither do too much for me though.  not that its a bad shot, just didnt seem to jump out as great to me,,,

		| | I agree with soup, I like the first shot better for the same reasons. The placement of the leaf in the photo is also appealing to me. |

		| | I like what you did with the foreground/background isolation in Version 2.  But I think the inclusion of the branch in V1 was more interesting.  I think the best lies somewhere in-between... |

		| | I like the Last to Leave version best.  It has less in the background making it easier to concentrate on the leaf. |

		| | Having the brabch included gives a sense of where the leaf is - where it might leave from.  But I agree that  the simpler composition brings your eye to the leaf.  Perhaps as nshapiro says - somewhere inbetween.  A crop that has a more vertical shape could foreshadow the leaf dropping down...

		| | Technically is very well done, but what is missing is movement. 
 Add a trail to the leave and, IMHO, the overall message will pop-up enourmously.

		| | Thanks for the comments..... I was undecided about whether I liked these shots at all..... I think I agree with soup though, no real wow factor.... 
 Cheers,
 
 Todd.
