Another beautiful leaf shot, Mike. The subtle, muted colors along wiht the textures and patterns are very attractive in this one and of course, the raindrops put the image over the top. Cheers :toast:

Very nice Mike. I haven't been a member here very long, but I knew this had to be yours. I really like all the muted colors, the shapes and textures, and of course the water drops. A real pleasure to view. :cool:

As I was scrolling down to make my comment, I saw Chris' comment about impact. I think that is the best way to describe this shot. Amazing sharpness and clarity. Great details Mike.
