When I was learning to use colored pencil, my favorite subject was fall leaves. It was particularly fun to do an entire drawing in pencil (the graphite kind) with the exception of one leaf, which I would so boldly and bravely do in colored pencil. (had to ease into the world of full color, sort of like getting into cold water one toe at a time, but certainly more pleasant!) As I prepare for 3-4 shows this fall, the subject of leaves has come to mind again. Could be that it is autumn, could be that I am still enamored with those brilliant leaves after a summer of brown. . . whatever it is, have a look at this: 
Truthfully, I am a bit confused. Maybe it should go this way: 
Opinions, please!!??

The top one looks like it is falling and the bottom one looks at rest.
I like the second positioning better. It seems more natural to let your eye flow downward right to left. I’m curious to hear what others thought.
I like the first one better because it looks like it’s still on the journey. The second one has completed the journey and life really is all about the journey now isn’t it?
I like the 2nd one best. Weight should be at the bottom not the top. Love the cat.
Hi,Jana, long time no see! Because of the annoying campus net, it sets a lot of limitation to surfing the internet for our students.
In China, Autumn is coming too. The fall leaves are everywhere in our school in Jinan, a little sentimental, just like the colour of your painting, red, like blood.
