The composition of the photo is pretty good. But the harshness of the rocks and the similarityies in color make it difficult to distinguish the leaf as your subject. Too "busy" you might say. The harshness and angle of the light add to that problem. Suggestion: forget the rocks, get a super macro of the leaf weins, the light angle accentuates the texture of the veins and would make a good photo wihtout the surrounding distractions.

Seems a bit soft. USM would help to sharpen it. Also adding contrast would help it stand out more.

I think what I would like to see for THIS challenge "Extreme" close up is an extreme close up of this leaf. Get right in on the 'veins'. That would be some amazing details. Showing the entire subject doesn't really feel like extreme close up to me. I do like the subject, focus seems ok and lighting is alright, maybe a little dark in places but for the most part pretty good. ~Heather~
