I found some time yesterday afternoon to shoot around the farm. The sun came out for a moment and provided some nice light for this little guy. I had to clone out a small spider web between the stem and leaf. Your comments are always welcome. Thanks for taking a look.

I like all the green tones here Matthew. I find the bright colored leaf on the right a bit distracting. I might try to burn that area a little to decrease the brightness.

I too love the greens show here and that's a deserved compliment coming from someone that's green colorblind. I also would second Scott's suggestion to tone down the bright edge on the right leaf. Nice detail of the main bud!

I agree with the others, Matthew, this is terrific. Well done macro.

Nice macro on the bud, Matthew. I agree with the others on toning down that one leaf.
Otherwise, good shot and colors.

Thanks for taking a look guys. I didn't notice how bright the edge of that leaf was until you mentioned it. Now its all I see at the moment.
