The composition is well considered and here the flowing water creates an abstract otherness to the plant material.  Like the contrasts between them.  Wonder if the image would be even stronger if cropped in a bit from the left making it a bit more vertical and eliminating the small brown-orange leaf towards the left side.  In either case, like it.

Thanks. I see your point, I think. I like the format as it is but the saturation on the left-hand leaf could be reduced so the eye is less drawn.

A very nice shot. Honestly though – I like the little leaf. I would try cropping from the right, so you would end up with a portrait format and the three leaves forming a triangle. This way, the emphasis would be on the geometry, not so much on the flowing water effect. It would also strengthen the juxtaposition of the reddish leaves above the middle of the frame and the green one below the middle. Almost as if the water was filtering the colours…

I like it just the way it is. It’s a fine abstract, and it works for me.
