After seeing it with the leaf, it's hard to appreciate this one nearly as much. It just feels like it's missing something. There needs to be something added to the foreground. It stands out, but doesn't accentuate anything. Maybe I'm just comparing it to the original too much.

lol - yeah, I can see that. SO maybe I should have posted this one first, it may have made a difference in your opinion then; not that you'd like this one any more, just see it differently. I am a staunch minimalist (thus my love for haiku) and that aspect of my persona definitely has bled over into my photography. Thanks for the comment and your opinion though, I do appreciate that. :)

Well, I've read some of your haikus before, so I figured that it had an influence. After all, it isn't hard to translate between capturing a brief moment in time through words and doing the same with an image. I like that minimalistic aspect.

It definitely would have changed my opinion, and it's a great shot. It's just that I don't like it as much after seeing the other version now.

Nope it's not and that's probably why I have taken to it so well, IMHO.

Yeah, I can see how this is so unlike the first shot I posted and I like it better than this one for sure. I was just defending myself overly much I guess *blushes* :)

No problem. Both are good. They each capture a different side, in a way.

Oh, I see it. The tiny leaf. My monitor didn't fit all of the picture, and I didn't scroll over to the right, so I didn't see it. That's much better. ^^;

You know what? I'm not really a big photography person to be honest, but I really like this. I think the title really connects to the image, because it is obscure- it kind of curves around the edges!
