LOL! i don't buy lotto tickets... the state takes enough of my money already, without me giving them more. besides, unemployment doesn't pay well enough to give any of it away...
as for the leaf... there was one there the day before, but when i returned, it had blown away, so i "replaced" it... i know, that's cheating, but i won't tell if you don't!
Smart man! Here's my favorite quote on the lottery etc.
"Gambling is a self-imposed tax on people who aren't good at math..."
That's cheating? Are you sure?
Let's say it wasn't a leaf, but rather a person. If you'd posed somebody next to the waterfall, would that have been cheating? For example, a shot of a bride... Is it OK to pose them there, or should you just hang out by the stream waiting for a wedding party to wander past.
OK, I'm being a bit silly, but I don't really think it's cheating, at least not too much. Most folks won't even think about it, and those who do think about it much more likely to say "Nice composition!" rather than "No fair!"

I like the juxtaposition of this photo. The cool yet rushing water of the creek next to the warm but calm leaf nestled in the soft mosses on the hard surface of the boulder.
I agree with Arline...
And, sorry, but I've gotta ask.
Was the leaf there, or did you place it there? It adds a wonderful touch of color, but if it was there without any help from you, then maybe you should have bought a Lottery ticket on the way home as it was definitely your lucky day.

Can't wait to catch your stand up routine Baughb!
okay, so it's not "cheating"... let's just call it "giving mother nature a helping hand"... 
i only regard it as such because i prefer to photograph nature as i find it, rather than "staging" my shots. still, as you say, no one's gonna know unless i tell them (though a few like yourself may suspect...), and it does add a nice touch to the composition...
