Not a bad picture at all. TBH when I saw the thread title I was expecting a snoozer

The way the leaf is positioned is interesting. I think of this leaf as raging at having been shed by the tree and is resisting it's death to the end.

Nice composition. B&W really works well.

Leading the leaf resistance.

Thanks.

pump up some contrast. I like the Bokeh

Wonderful! Great DOF. I like the contrast bump but now the bokeh becomes distracting because it is the darkest part of the image.
Since your photos are ok to edit I took a sec to try this crop as an option and straightened it a smidge, I think it makes it less of a distraction. Otherwise I would probably try to lighten it a bit.
Very nice capture!
