Good one !

It almost looks unreal. Like the skin of some animated turtles or was it Dinos ?
Nature really has some amazing designs !

I do find the photo more appealing no as the background turned darker. It just fades away in a smoother way and brings the wonderful leaf more to its right.

Beautiful leaf Michael. Really stands out from the shadows. There is something that really speaks of life, to me, in leaves. Something like touching a kitten.

Incredible lightness of meeting, beautifully realized. I've tried often to capture this kind of delicate gravitational meet-up in the forest, but never have come close to this marvelous capture. Bravo!

Hummmm I guess you could say the blood runs a bit on the blue side, it must be a royal? :o)

I love the contrast of the light and dark green in this leaf. It looks like it has pines nearby? Ithe leaves are very ornamental. It looks a lot larger than 12" when looking at it. It looks like one of those giant leaves that are 2' wide and 3' long. It must be your good angle and it's patterns that give it that impression. Beautiful shot Michael.

Like this alot. The deep green colour combined with the blue treads make it contrasty and rich. The background goes in the same tones, but my only objection is that it is a bit distracting. Could it be more blurred, or darkend a little bit? Just my two cents...
