Hi Lucy :wavey: The beautiful play of light here is fascinating, The varies degrees of light, color and lines work well together. i would crop the bottom to the where the left lower leaf stops. and crop a tiny bit on top, Lucy , this is very artistic work :toast:

Lucy: Terrific lighting. I think you'll get all kinds of crop suggestions. Mine would be to crop from the left to about 6:7 ratio. Well done.>=))>

Love those luminescent leaves. Nice work on capturing all that texture as well, Lucy.

I think I agree with Bills crop suggestion, but there is a lot to play with. I like the light.

Lucy - Really like how the backlighting has highlighted the red veins. Good eye to have spotted this. Like already mentioned lotsa possibilities to crop - suggest you select one that works for you.

Thanks all for the thoughtful comments. YesI was wondering about that dark area next to the far left leaf so it really helps to hear that affirmed. I was amazed myself at the quality of natural light. Here's a crop that seems to work better.

Lucy:
It refreshing to see you have quite different style or composition. The light on these leaves is fascinating. The tighter crop works better.
