I like the green portion of the leaf and the many small veins. Unfortunately, the brilliance of the main vein is overpowering. It's too blinding IMHO and works against the rest of the image. I also wonder if you could have toned down the noise in the green area. You don't indicate what post processing you performed, but I think running the image through the NeatImage plug-in would have taken care of that. There is potential here...but the focus should be on the green, not the white, portions of the photo.

Nice composition and good use of light. My preferences would of been for the flower to be less soft, but I still like the way you chose to present.

Not one of your better photos. The veins are so bright that they seem to be almost blinding. It really even stops you from wanting to look at the rest of the photo. The shades of green are very nice though.

Very nice perspective! This bridge looks sooo long! I love the name carved into the wood. I wonder if that's the designer or just some kid doing graffiti. The light and shadow seem to play nice together on what looks to have been a very bright day. Great job!

I wasn't fond of this one mainly because the veins were so bright - to me it seemed harsh and contradicted the softness of the leaf. I suspect, however, that you did this intentionally - it just didn't appeal to me, or the intent didn't quite get across.

I really like this kind of "perspective" shot and appreciate the double meaning with the perspective of time. The toning serves you well in that respect. My biggest nit with this is the opening at the other end so far over to the right - my eye wants it a bit closer to the "third" for balance. Nice textures and depth. Good to see you back in the challenges, too!
