Lighting looks great David :toast:

The nice way in which the leaf on the right sweeps out is a bit constrained be the edge of the frame - a bit more of that sumptuous black BG down the right side of frame would make it great :wavey:

Beautifully lit, and with the extra space and frame, a lovely image has been given the finishing touch. Good job!
