I like the 2nd one, too. Mostly because the larger size shows more of that detail.

Have you thought about playing with the lighting? It seems like a crisp cool shadow of those veins could make for an interesting counterpoint to the warm hues in the leaves. Just an idea ... if you still have these lying around.

John, well done! There is some intense detail in there and the fragileness is very evident. These two photos are a nice change from the normal. Well done.

These are much better than my take on this subject. The leaf itself as art is the ticket I think. I'm not totally sold on these but I think it's a subject and an idea worth exploring.
