Excellent color and crisp details Mike. I like the veining and sharp leaf edges.

Beautiful, as always, Mike. The placement of the leaves reminds me of the Yin and Yang. Harmony in nature. Great shot.

Lovely lines and contrast - it'd be good in black and white too. Well seen

Hey Rick,
If you notice every shot I post is with the 180. Its the only lens I carry for my leaves. Its a great lens. Thanks.

Great work Mike, the reflections in the water make the shot for me, like they're floating in quicksilver.
