interesting idea, though very top-heavy. the stems on the bottom loose impact. I like the white bands you added though. great use of the black/white backgrounds, and I like the changed colors though I'm not sure what they're adding to it. fall leaves are so vivid just by themselves.
This is my absolute favorite so far. Granted, I've only voted on 10 images so far, but I have a feeling this is going to stay right up at the top. The symmetry is fantastic - it's clear you've put a ton of effort into this. The green leaf with the white silhouette is my favorite, with the purple top being my least favorite of all the nine (!) distinct parts. Wow.
