Mike: I love shooting BoP leaves and this is a brilliant abstract. Exceptionally well seen, composed and captured.>=))>

Hi Mike,
Very artistic display with lots of intersecting lines makes this a pretty cool image. Well done....................Jim

Super! Masterfully balanced. The curves, lines, and light / shading could easily have been over-cooked, out of balance and a complete thud. Not this. Your eye to present is excellent. Kudos. One of the top shots seen is a while.

Excellent! As Ken says, done wrong this would have been a dud. Instead, "Bang!!" I will make a pro forma appeal for a larger image, but I don't really think it necessary in this case.

Not quite sure how you've done this, Mike - but who cares !!! Superb abstract, with a dynamic contrast between the flat green and white fractures and the moulded grey shapes. Beautifully composed and executed !!

Great photo Mike. I love the games of lights and shades and here are splendid.
