Thank you so much for your C&C, Lorell. I got lucky with this one - right place at the right time.
1) I'm pleased that you noted the inclusion of the cluster at lower right. I wavered about including it but had a vague sense that it added a bit to the image by avoiding a dark and blank area.
2) About the leaf at top left: I intentionally left it with the strong edge because I felt that served as a good leading line. But only a fool would disregard your advice on anything related to photography, so I'm reconsidering.
Your base photo for the local club's challenge is pretty cool. Your crop and the treatment are even better. Faultless composition as always, an ideal mix of soft vs sharp, and colors that range from deep and rich to bright and glowing. Great detail where it needs to be is emphasized by other areas that are left to the viewer's imagination. Masterful.

Don't blame me - I didn't vote for him!
