First timer: A leaf

Evening all

Am usually found in the motortsport section but traded my old lens a couple of days ago and recived my 18-55 IS lens this morning. Had a couple of minutes so snapped a couple of photos and really like this one, have a feeling im going to like this lens very much . Critique very much welcome, dont be to harsh otherwise i may go back to my natural habitat. . PS hopefully this is the right section to post in.
