Very interesting leaf. I don't think I like the bright background though.

Is that a leaf of some sort? I have never seen a leaf that furry looking before.

Great texture, maybe a close up would have worked better

I don't like the background, but the leaf does a great job in showing the texture. May I ask why you chose the background you did?

Comment by e301:
Never quite convinced about the high-key approach for textural shots - the brightness of the white always seems to overwhelm the ability to see the detail. That is slightly the case here - though I think you've got prety close to getting over it. Good on the surface of the leaf, rather more tricky toward the edges. It does allow those tones to come through very well. however.

I think this could have benefited from a little more unsharp masking, as it lacks a bit of crispness.

I love this one - one of the best I have seen in this challenge.
Its good that you used a plain white background - no distractions from the subject.

nice texture and I like the abstractness (is that a word?) of yur compostition.
