Jim,
I really like this. The color contrasts, the blurry white background and the sharp leaf are what strikes me at first. But upon closer inspection, the leaf looks like it is being restrained by the branches. Almost like the branches are keeping me from getting a closer view of the leaf. I feel like I need to see more detail of the leaf. A bit of intrigue to keep me wanting more. Was that your intent?
Good job.
Cory

Thanks for the comments Cory. The feelings of being "caught" and alone is the reaction I had in mind, so in some ways it was my intention.

Jim:
A great, moody shot. I love the feel of the BG and the contrast that you have created here. Very interesting and it inspires me to try more 'different' stuff and to learn photoshop better!
