Leaf Skelleton
Found the remains of this leaf in a local wood last year. Thought it made an interesting subject for a close up.

It's amazing what we as nature photographers discover,I guess patterns and details such as this would be completely over-looked by the majority of people.
I like the idea and the fact that you've attempted to record somethging a little out of the ordinary,and also something that is in less than perfect condition,striving to get a pristine subject is more often the norm.

However,I'm not sure the angle quite works for me,mainly because of the very shallow depth of field,and more importantly the out of focus vegetation in the bottom right corner.
Perhaps a downward looking angle may have been worth experimenting with.

I think I agree with Justin but great idea and well seen.
