Hi Chris.
Simplicity!!! I agree the leaves are in just the right place. I was beginning to think that we weren't going to see any stunning work today and then you cropped up.

I like how you placed the leaves in the frame,
colors and contrasts are very nice and so is the shallow dof.

Excellent composition. I like the contrast between the leaves and the stream (in sense of both colour and sharpness)

Superb Chris! All about tonal simplicity coupled with intelligent use of depth-of-field. I like the framing, but might have added a black keyline around the actual image itself, to balance the one on the outside.
If you have a minute can you e-mail me how you add the text in PS. I've been struggling to figure it out - doesn't seem to be many script type fonts to choose from, and positioning baffles me!

Hello Chris,
Let me congratulate you, I think you have successfully broken the thirds rule which is getting rather boring. Great idea and the contrast.

Looks like there is a fan-base forming and no wonder. Top quality and a perfect decision on the final framing.
We'll be keeping our eyes peeled for tomorrow's treat.

Lovely presentation, Chris! I'm not big on frames, but here, it is an essential complement to your image. Great compo: don't be afraid to break the rules, that's what they are for! The combination of blue and orange is fantastic. Excellent job!

Chris, there's a problem. We can't see that it is water in the background, so basically this is a shot of two leaves against a blue background. Which is also nice, but in that case you should have respected the thirds. Nevertheless, a good shot - and A for effort.

You show a great sensitive soul to capture all this simplicity and turn it into a real piece of art! I could stare your work for hours and hours!
This original POV gives and inovative balance to the picture which is fascinating! The Background is simply beautiful!

Hi Chris (again),
I just discovered your portofolio here ... beautiful!!!
This is such a nice moody shot ... in it's simplicity ... so very well composed! The "blue blur" of the stream is just excellently managed.
Thanks for sharing!!
Greetings

I love the colours here. I think the composition is extra attentive by situating the leaves higher up ... love it ...

This photo is the colours I've chosen for my wedding. I LOVE the colours ;o)
The simplicity is my second attraction here.
Very well seen and I adore the creative composition.

Hi Chris
Simply beautiful, and also beautiful simplicity ;). The so-called rule of the 3rds is not a dogma and it is sometimes just better to let the beauty of natural colours express themselves on a picture. The contrast between the warm and cold tones, the sharpness of the leaves and the blurry background is just great and nicely composed. TFS

Hi Chris,
Composition is very interesting. I like orange - blue contrast. Maybe frame is too big and white colour doesn't fit to the picture, but it is only my opinion.
Anyway, I like it a lot.

Great compo. Just the minimal needed for the effect.
Great one! And not following the rules...
