I am lost (a good thing in my view) in the colors here. Your art brings peace and serenity. Well done!

Nice...I think this captures it perfectly. Deciding where to crop pending what size leaf and detail is most pleasing is never easy....esp for a subject like this. I like how the shadows of leaves in b/g give this a layered look... I might boost that effect a tad more... Solid sharpness throughout is a win for this too. Well done.
