Yes, Don, the shadows setting off the bright bands are critical elements in this fine look at a palm frond.  I like the strong central band and how you've got it just slightly off center.  That works well with the extra shadows on the right.

Wonderful interplay of light and shadow, Don. For me since the frond is the main focal point, I would consider framing it dead center as an option.

A nice view of the palm frond, Don, with interesting shadows on several levels.  Well execured.

Good thinking on this one, Don. I can't say I personally have any scenes that might fit the WC here, but this one opens up some thoughts on that arena. Nice work.......laugh

 I like the luminosity transitions here.  Good shape and texture.  Just another thought with respect to the position; perhaps moving the central branch even further to the right to make it even more asymmetrical.
