Again, another images that just sticks out! Loving the colors here, Tim. However, I would try to keep the edge of the leaf on the frame. The way it is cropped right now, I find that my eye just falls off the bottom!
This is a study of the wonderful design of nature made even more dramatic by your very interesting composition. We may try, but we fall short in our efforts to duplicate nature's handiwork.
*****We have all seen close ups of leaves before, but not like this. Your framing is brilliant, echoing the flow of the big vein. I know, it's another leaf! But a great one.
