1st bores me

2nd is lovely

I like it

The after shot draws attention to the leaf, where the before pic happens to have a leaf on the bench you were shooting. I gotta vote for the after. Very interesting.

Thanks for the comments guys...I think I like the 2nd one a little better too....just seems more interesting than the first...although I like the first one too....
I tried it in plain B&W but it looked a little too plain...but as a whole with the colored leaf I wanted to see if anyone else liked it and thought it worked! :)
