Flora Fireworks! They explode with green. Your title is just right. The complimentary colors in the leaves and stems vibrate and give it a real spark. Your composition is great, even with a image so full of texture, the rule of thirds still applies.
If you want to go for a different look with similar subject material, try a wider f stop, it will give you less depth of field and make the focus of your picture more compelling.

P.S. We love your avatar.

Keep on shooting :jump:

Lovely graphic design, Barbara - the mix of large and small leaves providing a good composition. I actually like the fact that all is in sharp focus - I think that helps achieve the graphic quality.

Hi Barbara,

Lovely frame-filling pattern. The colors are quite interesting. Looks like photo art and makes an interesting graphic design.

Terrific color and the leaf vein patterns add a nice design element. Did you use a polarizer?....there is some glare (with a bluish cast) on some of the leaves but that's only a minor distraction. Nice find!

Another beauty from you, Barbara. Someone said Fireworks and that gets my vote too. Superb design through out the frame. You should be proud of this photo :toast:

Barbara,

Not much I can add to the the comments already made. Superb... That said, there' are some small speculars in the upper left that you might want to clone out. A very minor nit though.

Very fun, Barbara. Nice frame filling, good detail. The color seems to be off a bit...a little neon blue BUT perhaps it's my monitor. Nicely done.

I love how the leaves fill the frame Barbara. Great eye to see this pattern in nature. To me this is really well done - the only thing that I could suggest is a bit more DOF - a bit more sharpness.
