I love your minimalist shot of the fallen leaf. I try to do minimalist shots too but just can't find the perfect way to frame the subject. Yours is simple and beautiful. 🍂

Thank you. While framing the shot, I usually go with what feels right, but upon further examination they are composed using the rule of thirds. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rule_of_thirds
Keep up the good work and it will come.
Rule of thirds
The rule of thirds is a "rule of thumb" or guideline which applies to the process of composing visual images such as designs, films, paintings, and photographs.
The guideline proposes that an image should be imagined as divided into nine equal parts by two equally spaced horizontal lines and two equally spaced vertical lines, and that important compositional elements should be placed along these lines or their intersections. Proponents of the technique claim that aligning a subject with these points creates more tension, energy and interest in the composition than simply centering the subject.
The photograph to the right demonstrates the application of the rule of thirds.
