Alternate entry for autumn comp

Hi All,

This was going to be my entry for the colours of autumn competition but I felt it was lacking in colour for entry. I liked the shadows and detail in the rotten part of the leaf and its shadow on the straight lines of the wood.

What do you all think ?

I love the central part of the picture with all the skeletal shadow detail, but I think there is too much space on the left and right which doesn't contribute much for me. I think I'd probably go for a square crop and chop off the sides if it were mine.

Wow...stunning.
I particularly like the detailed shadow
