I think this explains why this is a leaf (although it doesn't explain that this is a well photographed example)
from wikipedia:
Two basic forms of leaves can be described considering the way the blade is divided. A simple leaf has an undivided blade. However, the leaf shape may be formed of lobes, but the gaps between lobes do not reach to the main vein. A compound leaf has a fully subdivided blade, each leaflet of the blade separated along a main or secondary vein. Because each leaflet can appear to be a simple leaf, it is important to recognize where the petiole occurs to identify a compound leaf.

Wouldn't that be plural "leaves". (I'm not a botanist) Anyway, effective colors against the deep black. -tv

Very nice green on black. Really like the saturated green.

Thanks Suey & Doug:-) I have cleaned up a bit wiv the clone tool but I did it after two beers & maybe went too far:-) Unlike Aamm I didn't get any picys at me sisters but had a lovely lunch:-)

Terrific Rod. Like others, you teach me that I spend too much energy choosing the subject to photograph. -COAmature

I like the green against the black. Yes the top corner..... distracts abit.
Yes competing against aam1234 at sisters :)))
Rod 22-Feb-2008 23:05
Thanks Carole we have to go out to me sisters for lunch so I will clone away when I get home. I hope I get some good picys at me sisters as Aamm does:-)

Lovely palm frond Rod with the dark background showing off the green well - well lit too! I might clone off the bit of green leaf in the upper left or show a bit more of it, but nice as is too. :-) CJ
