Very cool macro abstract comp, Kostas. Love the contrast of pattern & color between the two leaves, and the water drop is nice touch. The fine detail of veins in upper leaf, with green & tan color combo is wonderful. Very nicely done! :5

Hi Kostas. You have good sharpness and exposure, but overall, this one isn't working that well for me. The top leaf has a lot of interesting patterns, but I don't think the bottom leaf really adds anything here. Usually, I like water drops, as they add interest, but in this case I think it is distracting. IMO, you would have a much stronger image if you concentrated on the patterns in the top leaf. :S3:

While the top leaf has nice patterns and colors the other one dont add much to the image imo. I think that another option would have been to shoot this horizontal with the top leaf filling the most part of the frame and a small part of the bottom with the green leaf.

Hey Kostas, like Steve, this one isn't working for me as is but I do think it's a good concept. If you can shoot something like this again, look for a leaf that is in better condition and limit the plain lower leaf to about 1/3 of the canvas. I also agree that this particular water drop isn't adding anything to the shot and is just a distraction. Maybe try a few smaller, round drops.

I do think you can get something good out of this idea so please try again. :S3:

Thank u all Guys :)

I have to agree with the above comments. The water drop is distracting and the leaves are in poor condition. But, I love the idea you have here! I hope you can find other leaves.
