I've always like pictures of leaves, because they display a graceful pattern which is impossible to replicate by my hands. That being said, I'm trying to determine how this is showing it being backlit.

(Of course in Judging the picture I can't see your comments on how this was done, or anything else about you for impartiality on the judging.)

Since you submitted the leaf, I can only assume that it was lit from behind and we're looking through the leaf. This being said, it's amazing. Would you mind telling us how you achieved this effect and what type plant if comes from? Thanks.

Great shot Brent. I don't like people in my landscapes though, so you only get a 9. ;)

Beautiful. Great details, my only critique is that the backlighting is not obvious.
