I like the subtle color palette and the intimates scene you captured. A nice slice of reality at your feet.

Very nicely done Albert. I like how the dead leaves in the center are framed by the reflection and the leaves beneath. The highlight on the leaf on the right side is a bit of eye-magnet, you might consider doing some burning there or even crop a bit from the right.

This is nice intimate little scene. I might be tempted to clone out the bit of leaf on the left edge, near the bottom, as well as that bit of stalk on the right edge near the bottom. I like the color and the detail.

Albert,
Very well seen. What I find the most interesting is all the understory - or all the submerged leaves, as well as the reflected patters on the water's surface. The cluster of ferns and the lone leaf in the middle to act as a nice anchor.
I would agree with others about the small, scattered leaves on the bottom and left. They're midly distracting for me and to take away a little bit from the impact this image could have, and what you saw. I suppose selectively burning down those brighter areas around the edges could help a little.
I really like what you saw, just a few too many small distractions going on.
