How did I miss this??? It is absolutely fabulous. The simplicity has such detail and is just excellent.

Congrats on your personal best Troy.

Simplicity rules at times, and this is a perfect example.

Well Done!

Superb quality photo, very good aparture and great sharp focus, you should have a ribbon for this.

Beautiful! Love your lighting and how you captured so much detail!

Very good lighting and nice display of texture.

Nice form & Focus. I was thinking of a similar shot with a banana leaf!

Like this a lot, good title a little more sharpness maybe.

I love the lighting in this shot. Focus is bang on.
I think this could almost be considered a botany "study" of the leaf while at the same time an artful, pleasing image. Top ten.

Good title.

Superb lighting and study of texture. I would normally suggest a more diagonal composition for a shot like this... but NOT for this one. The very formal, perfectly centered and vertical composition works perfectly. You found the right time to ignore some rules and go with instict. The black background really sets off the green. Finally, the apeture you used appears perfect! Great job, thanks for sharing.

Nice lighting, makes it glow. Nice simply composition too. Need a touch more light on stem from front as it's not really visible very easily and I think it would balance leaf more if it were.

Superb shot which nicely delivers on the Botony theme. Translucence of the leaf is very effective. Razor sharp focus is fantastic. How you did it with the dark dark background is a mystery I hope you'll do a tutorial on.

Simple yet effective, well done!

very nice and clean - simple idea well lit and executed.

As a photo for publication work (i.e cover, advert etc) it is perfect. As a standalone photograph probably not so much as there isn't much to look at apart from an old leaf.
