Matthew: Not sure I've mentioned this to you in the past but you get extra credit in my book when you use tubes on a zoom.

Very successful comp and I really like your DOF and plane of focus choices. Superbly crafted image.>=))>

Hi Matthew. I really like the placement of the FG leaf with the leaf echos in the BG. I kinda wish that the lowermost leaf edge was sharp. Nevertheless, a very nice image.

Very nice, Matthew. Good lighting, nice color. I like the mirrored effect of the leaf!

Wonderful colors and composition. Highlights the jagged edges of the leaf.

I like the colours here with the focus on jagged rim of the leaf and the repetitive motif in the background. The dark green in the background nicely supports it.
