*Critique Club*
Per your request, here is an in depth critique from the critique club. To me, the black and white treatment doesn't add anything to the photo. There are no textures that were enhanced, nothing for the lack of color to draw our eyes to and the overall photo seems too dark really.
The focus seems ok on the little leaf and the background is blurred nicely, but the dark areas of the background blend in too well with the dark coloring of the leaf, and kind of make the leaf have to compete for attention with the background.
Overall, the photo lacks interest. I'm not drawn into the photo and held there at all.
The shadow on the leaf is a distraction to me, unless you meant for that to be the main subject of the photo. Without much photographer's comments, it's hard to tell what your intentions were with this photograph.
The crop seems just a little too centered. I think I'd like for there to be a dramatic angle or something to add a bit of interest to the photo.
Maybe something to show us that he really is the last one hanging, or something to add to the story.
