I wish I could see where she is jumping to. Regardless, I feel like the branch in the front is distracting and you should try to bring out the shadow detail on the bridge.

The leaf texture looks like crocodile skin - and yes, those are some quite hairy galls. Hmmm... now I'm getting all sorts of ideas about the Garden of Eden - your lens corrupts again. Get thee behind me, Satan.

Interesting shot, Don. The leaf's veins do a nice job of framing the galls and driving my eye down to them. The strong color is very pretty, too. Looks like you got some nice detail on the leaf on the right side. My main problem is that I like macros to have a fair amount of sharp detail to explore. As you know, I highly appreciate deliberate blur, but this feels more like a lack of DOF control in a macro, which is definitely one of the hard things to get right. I look forward to more explorations of your sexy lens. ;)

I don't get a sense of distance here and it is difficult to see what the subject is.

I bet there's a squirrel there holding up that end of the pencil lol. Very cute idea! Love the colors. Excellent macro!

I think this may work better in colour.
