Well, to be completely picky, maybe one more leaf in the lower left.

Yeehaw! I finally get to nit one of your photos!

I love the colors and the diagonal of the ginko leaf.

Thanks for posting.

Wow Mike, This is going to be one of your classics again! The second version works better, since it has more 'pop'

Thanks for sharing!

Mike,

A very nice composition,the green of the Ginkgo works well with the reds in the other leaves.I might crop a bit from the bottom therefore reducing some of the stem of the Ginkgo. What type of tree produces those wonderful red leave. What ever they are I wish they grew around here.

I was going to nit that empty corner...but you took care of that!

Otherwise I love it, great sharpness and color throughout.

EDIT: One detail that I missed until I posted my comment, that I just love, is how the ginko is intertwined somewhat with the other leaves up at the top.
