Reply #10: I like the third one a lot, but it doesn't scream "spring" to me - more autumn

I think the middle one would be better if the focus was all the way in the foreground rather than back a little. Even so, the composition is a little boring to me - it makes me think of the backdrop to a lawn-care advertisement.

The top one is a cool idea, and definitely the most spring-like (new growth coming out of grey winter and all that). I think I'd like it better if the leaves filled a bit less of the frame and the background was a little less busy. Also, the middle leaf is distractingly overexposed.

Thanks for sharing your work - lets see some more!
