Soup, I think this is an excellent image. You don't have any information posted with it, but the title you have given it of 'life and death' in the file name seems to allude to the contrast between the green leaf and the fading leaf. The theme of life and death is usually an intriguing theme for me. This particular 'contrast' is often portrayed in photography and other art and 'craft' forms as well. The color work here definitely brings the leaves to the foreground of the image and centers my attention around them.
What I like about this photo in particular is the 'noise'. It's not a film grain or distortion noise, but the 'chaos' within the image created by the contrasts from dark to light that fill the 'background' here. That creates a lot of tension and I think it adds to the overall theme because of that. It reminds me, somewhat, of looking at a tv sreen with nothing but snow on it. That is 'chaos'. The two leaves seem to balance that chaos by drawing my attention and making me observe your idea.
Very interesting photo....
