Should have posted this one for St Patrick's day ;)
These little critters invade my Jasmine vine every year - always good to try out new macro techniques.

Love the green and the comp is superb

[Robert Amoruso]

Wow this is really a stunner. I love it.

Great work! I think the image would be even stronger if there were just a single stem in the frame, but I like this very much as is. The amount of detail in your subject, and the soft light make this image for me.

Hi John,
I might have liked the whole left leaf in as it has a wonderful curve........ but as is..... it's still a wonderful shot as presented,
