Like your title Rita. A little to the left and it's into the abyss for this poor leaf. The diagonal element is frosting on the cake. #1557912

I am getting an interesting mental image of you Girl. While all the under thirties of the civilised world walk around with both thumbs and neck bent while they play with their smartphones you are alert, hunting and gatherings so many interesting images.
Well done. #10935473

Love the spot of color in the upper right ROT spot and the darker asphalt patch diagonal sets the shot off well. #10935510

Great job! I love the angle and the color of the leaf in this one. It pays to watch where you walk! #10936419

Hi Rita. It is the very simplicity of just the one diagonal line leading up to the leaf that works so well and the grey uniform texture of the asphalt holds it all together.
The second image might benefit from giving the leaf some additional saturation so that it pops out in the way that the leaf in your first image does. I am not sure why I'm not finding those cross lines working for me but I think maybe I am spoiled by the uncluttered simplicity of the first image and this one doesn't hold me in the same way.
The third image doesn't work for me at all I'm afraid Rita. The leaf color is too similar to the paving stones and it is rather the converse of what I said about the simplicity of the first image; it is just too busy, with too many similar pavers.
Still having nice thoughts about how you are stretching yourself Rita and will be interested to see how the others will disagree with me :0) #10936440
