I agree with your idea. However, I personally would have preferred another leaf half way over that yellow one (maybe an orange one) turned at a different angle to give more of a 'natural' element to the placement, At any rate, a great result!
ah but that's not natural'- Really? Neither is portrait photography because the people put clothes on- put makeup on, put earings on comb their hair nicely, etc etc etc- Who cares if it's 'not entirely natural'? Is it a good looking photo? Yes? Mission accomplished- Enjoy the art of the photo/photographer- Landscape photographers almost always without fail manipulate the photos post production- and manipulating the landscape pre production/shot isn't allowed? I always get a kick out of photo purists (Translated= snobs) stating "But you removed that discarded cup from the urban scene- that's 'not natural' you manipulated the scene' Yeah? And the developers who constructed the buildings, streets, signs, lamps, etc didn't manipulate the scene? Sure I took the cup out of the scene- it looked ugly and distracting- If you like ugly distracting stuff- go buy a camera, and take the shot yourself- good luck to ya! Yes I moved the branch out of the way- it was ruining the shot- "Well then you shouldn't have taken the shot" No? I enjoy the shot I got- you don't? Oh well- have a nice day!
All photographers needs to start thinking like an artist. Do you think master painters Would add to there works even great painters add to there works so photographers should think if I add or subtract something would my photograph be better? If the answer is (yes) then you should do it..Bryan You are the best. Hands down.
Wow! Brian always Rocks by simple technic, but gosh, he got the photographer inteligency, a great man, a show man and a great photographer!!! Happy new years to you Brian Master Peterson!!! Much Respect!
I can see waiting for days for the critter to show and enter the frame for the "perfect" shot. But that's only because critters aren't as docile as leaves and harassing critters to do what you want them to do is kinda frowned upon. But rocks and leaves?… not so much.
Have you ever looked at a scene in nature and wondered if adding something could help the composition? In this episode of AdoramaTV, Bryan Peterson shows how "helping" mother nature can help you achieve a better composition. http://adr.ma/1hO0CRg

LOL, Mother nature needs help Bryan, you did the right thing.
It's only a problem if is photojournalism.
Such a speech for a dead leaf. Move the leaf and take your photo!
So I like it, nice and easy!

You make it fun and easy, I am still learning from you. Thanks and God Bless you!!!
I think AdoramaTV needs to invest in a tripod, the shake in this video was really distracting.
Great Video, You are not guilty :)

i might have put the leaf is a more random position – ended up being awful vertical.
Nice idea, definitely guilty of making another great video :-). Love your creativity Bryan.
Guilty! … for not chopping of the leaf's stock lol
Not guilty….ha ha

"It's not nice to fool Mother Nature!"
I love this guy!!!!!!!!
Not guilty!
As usual Bryan, a great video! Thanks
Creative shot
all this for a 30 sec video?
Thanks, Bryan.
Great video again. Nice idea, it didn't look out of place either.
You make it look so easy and I agree that Mother Nature likes a little help but remember "don't mess with mother" too much:)
