Crispy Leaves

The focal area is clearly the bundle of leaves in the center of the photo. They are brighter and more clear than the rest of the photo.

The textures of this photo are in the leaves and the stick they are attached to. In the background, the tree and other branches make for other interesting textures even though they are blurry.

The soft lighting of this photo makes it more peaceful and autumn-like. The relations of the soft lighting and easy colors make it more clear that this photo was taken in the fall.

If I could do something differently, I would make the leaves in the center of the photo less blurry and more focused so the textures would be more visible.
I would probably also rearrange the leaves into a different position so they would be more interesting.
