Hi Alan - myself I'r prefer it the center stem cut thru the corner top right, but hey, what would I know :biggrin: :biggrin: :biggrin:

Image looks mighty noisy for 200ISO :confused:

You will get that when the light is shining from the otherside.

Hi Alan,
Love the way the back-lighting has really picked out the intricate vein detail and I also very much like the contrast between the sharp fern in the foreground and the distant out of focus one.
