The leaf that's just left of center really draws my eyes. Because of that, I wonder what a square crop with that leaf near the lower left 1/3 point might look like.

Scenes such as these dead leaves are certainly a monochromatic part of nature that we see frequently. The idea is interesting to photograph them under water but I wonder if use of a polarizer might have helped give more contrast and elinimated some of those distracting bright dots. I like Mark's idea for a crop.
