1.can crop off more of the bottom
2. this a fast moment candid?

if not can use lower angle for more impact
3.leaf is of just the right size

agree with clive here... crop off till the chair in front disappears can already i think...

thanks for your comments, clive and nickmak. i have cropped away more of the bottom and posted the edited pic above.

zaren, sorry to interrupt... why post the edited version to replace the original picture? As I see it now, comments left by clive and nickmak no longer make any sense...

It would be good to show side by side comparison....

ok jas, here's the original pic...

Your original image has greater relevance to your title as it gives more space around the subject(sense of personal space?) and also has a better sense of balance in the image.

The cropped version is neither here nor there, being a little loose for a conventional portrait and too tight to fit in with your caption.

i prefer the original one.

come on people say crop you really go and crop...

I think I said crop the bottom slightly because the bench at the bottom is a bit distracting because it does not lead the eye to the subject and then on to the leaf... If the bench can push straight then can... But its a candid shot so not studio here... hehe..
