My ups & downs...

Digi - as you say not ideal subject matter... but that said I think with a landscape crop & a boost to the saturation & contrast there was more to be had from the image

Trena - I did like this - you do pattern pictures so well. I might have tried a composition with the end of the leaf in the image to stop the eye running out in the top corner - not sure if that would have made it stronger or not - JMHO
