What a lovely image here. I like the colors - and "approaching" fall is perfect. Did you try a square crop, taking away the dried leaves on the right and cropping for the branch to be an almost perfect diagonal... ?

lovely, thanks Manoj!

ps: where are you? Autumn? in the NE US, is it?

I simply love this image Manoj!

The diagonal line draws my eyes from TRC to BLC of the frame. The greens complement the oranges. One thing that can be improved is covering the white patches with the leaves so that it would be less distracting and makes is a better print. Just my thoughts. If you made this in a local arboretum, I encourage you to visit the place again if possible and try the composition again. That being said, I liked the mood this image conveys and suits perfectly for the current season in the US!

Thanks Arati, will try the perfect diagonal crop, i am in midwest, Illinois..
Colors are already at peak here...

Pramod, thank you for the feedback, yes you are rt, the bright spots do take away the attention, wanted to patch up those areas with leaves but wanted to present the scene as is.
This was taken while hiking at a local park, will check out if i can find similar compositions, the color hardly stays for 1-2 weeks max
