I like the comp set off in approximate quadrants Preston. I also like the clarity and the contrasts in texture and color between the leaves and the bg. Interesting patterns as well. I like the image - no suggestions.

Preston, This is really nice! I like what you did with the composition here (very interesting) and love the textures and color in this. Feels like I can reach out and touch it. The large version looks fantastic! Excellent work on this...

Love the light on the leaves and the comp is very nice. It's an interesting texture that you have photographed. I like it alot, very graphic and artistic.

Preston, you have a very good eye for the intimate scenes, very nice detail and natural color and your composition works beautifully. Excellent work.

Excellent abstract. I love the pattern on the rock and the leaves add some reality to it. I like this a lot.

Preston: Well seen and a fine image. I suspect most folks would just walk past this little scene but you've made something special. Really nicely done.>=))>

Preston, this is a neat, minimalist look with the green leaves setting off all of the tones in the stone very well.

This is sweet Preston. This was carefully crafted and it shows. I generally always admire your compositions, but this is a special delight. I have sat and taken it all for a long time over several visits. Extremely well done. Strong as new rope, as we say here in the south.

Hey Preston,,,,,,Is that rock wall is giving me the finger?

I really like the composition and the very natural, understated color.

Its a subtle and understated photo Preston. Nice and quiet. We don't see, let alone enjoy, scenes like this much anymore. Thanks for sharing it.

Good eye for the composition here, Preston. I'm sure it might not have been seen by many photogs, me included.

I especially like the foliage coming in at the URHC, makes a strong focal point in the comp.

You did not list having used TK's stuff here, so I might think the highlights on the leaves might benefit from the usage. Seems a tad bit bright up in that quadrant. Just a thought.
