This is very interesting. I love the rim lighting and detail in the webbing.

There is much knowledge to be gained in the study of plant death and decay. I am not sure a photograph will stir more than intrigue.
Photographically though, the distinction between the exposed venation in the dead part from backlighting, and the muted greenness is suitable food for thought.

John - Nicely spotted. Fine contrast between the green and the brown areas of the leaf and some good light there. You could see if it makes any meaningful difference, if you were to increase the exposure a bit more.

John, I like this for the backlighting, rim lighting and colors. I don't care for the very top as much. I think you should consider cropping at least 20% off the top to make this stronger.

Isn't it amazing what a photographer is able to see versus others? Well recorded John.

I really like the backlighting on this! I do agree with Scott however...the dark area at the top could be cropped off & I think it would make it an overall stronger image.
