 These leaves are really big, maybe 20-30cm in length, which allows easy macro work with my camera. Morning walk around Botanic gardens with my daughter. Cropping, sharpening, hue/sat, levels etc.

Seems to lack detail - there's a sense of brittleness to the lines, rather than of reality, a sense of the colours appearing in blocks, rather than in organic progression. What's caused that, or how you've achieved it, I couldn't say, but it doesn't appeal to me much I fear.

beautiful comp, although somewhat unfocused at the lower corner. With a polarizer I think you could avoid the reflections on the drops

Looks like tributaries or arteries. The water drops add another dimension for the leaf. Bottom right is OOF.

You achieved the most beautiful, delicate coloring and composition here. This is exquisite.

A real WINNER! The delicate balanceof the soft pastel colors with the water makes this a very stunning image. Your lighting was perfect. Focus is exceptionally well handled. The only "less than perfect" selection, in my opinion, is the way you've placed the image. It would be much better with a strong(er) diagonal composition. Good seeing and execution.
