technicals are good, not sure that the leaf really makes enough of a statement for me

Cool isolation of the leaf. I think it would have been a better shot if you were closer... fill the shot a little more with the leaf.. yet still show its the only one.. all of the limbs/twigs just get a little busy in my opinion.
