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.
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...
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...
