I think I get that nature and man are often in conflict (by man's choice) but I don't think that comes through in the photo - I don't see the conflict illustrated. I like the composition and the use of monochrome vs. color.

Not if you get caught! Nice photo - like the lighting on the hand vs. on the leaf.

I love how the leaf looks like it is just floating on the hand. Love the details and lines of the hand. I am curious tho as to why some parts are either softened or blurred?

Whoa, I can't handle that kind of responsibility, I need to escape... hey, what's that leaf... let's party!

I'm not sure whether you've selectively blurred or just used an incredibly shallow depth of field, either way I do find the blur a little too much though it undoubtedly brings the leaf to the fore and emphasises its outline. A nice and simple use of selective desat and a powerful concept well illustrated.

One of those times when a single saturation works. I love the detail of the nick on the thumb. My kind os shot.

Yes. . .I love this for dichotomy. It's a concept hard to convey, and very well done! I love this one alot!

I really wish the texture in the palm had been better preserved. this is a beautiful image but the rrandom spots of smoothing just don't seem to fit in

Nice colors.

Did you use a Macro lens. I like the contrast between the colour and the Mono gives you double dichotomy!
