Nice find and composition, Mike. i felt the image needs some more sharpening. RHS of the leaf is OOF. Bringing it in focus would have added to the appeal. BTW, i like the diagonal patterns in the BG. It contrasts well with the diagonals of the leaf. TFS.
I love when I find a leaf like this but I have to say this is one of the most elaborate ones I've ever seen! I would have liked a little more room on the right side so that first loop on the right wasn't so close to the edge but it's still a very powerful image as is.
What's that f5.6 I see? Mike? Are you feeling okay? :D:D:D
