Is it just trash, or a beauty?

It's a nice image which I think might benefit from having some of the "empty" LH side cropped off. Good job.

Thanks for the reply : )
I've visited your website. Among the galleries, I like the Panorama most.

I like the depth of field.

good

-nice comp (leaf placed to the right)
-nice natural colors
-exposure is right on
-good contrast and detail
-nice light (backlit)
-nice DOF

nit

-photo is a tad busy (to many stray branches)
-the comp is nice (but the leaf is a tad to far right)

Take care Dwayne Oakes

I like this shot and if it were mine I'd sharpen just the leaf a bit more.

Thanks for the replies. This day I was looking for some wide-angle sceneries. Suddenly the late afternoon sunlight sprinkled and this leaf caught my attention. (Dwayne Oakes, yes you're right, it is backlit.) Fortunately I also brought the other lens in addition to my wide-angle lens. The DOF is thin due to f/1.8 aperture.
