I prefer number 1. perhaps it would be more arty if the top third was cropped out?

I get what you mean, but I think that way the leaves would be more evenly spread whereas the way it is now you get a sort of thinning out of the leaves as you move up, until there are none. If you see what I mean.

Good exposure which allows the rich colours in the leaves to shine through. I love my blue skies, so No1 for me. I agree that a tighter crop would help. Maybe next time you could try zooming in closer to a smaller group of leaves.

I think I see where you are coming from. You are concentrating on the leaves whereas I am concentrating on the lack of leaves, the fact that they are disappearing for the year. Of course, I could be talking rubbish and maligning you all, in which case, my apologies.
How about this one, does it get the message across better?
A lot more post processing, mind you.

Yes,I think that is more focused and direct. Of course the quality is coming down with that much cropping, but if you could shoot at a longer zoom setting that would help. I prefer the layout of that last one with the leaves dividing the frame.

I suppose, artistically, they re a bit meh, but the almost monochrome black/blue background with the sparse splashes of yellow/brown engenders a mild melancholy for the death of this last summer. Or is that just me?
