Is there a picture in here?

Something about the curve in the leaf intrigued me. The BG was just a white matte frame and showed a bit of texture so I filled it in at 237-237-237. Added a bit of canvas to the right and cropped from the bottom.

At the minimum, I would crop more from the bottom.

Hi Jackie - i would loose the bud on the LHS and just have the leaf.
I like it - Simple and effective - would also be god for some of the OOTB Effects.

I'm thinking like lance here and do away with the bud Does look neat, like it a lot Excellent texture and saturation for the leaf !!!

Definitely a picture here, love the shape and texture and colour of the leaf. Agree with others, lose the top bud.

Did an edit with just the leaf and didn't know if it was good enough to hold interest. TX for the comments:)

[Harold Davis]

great light on that leaf. agree on getting rid of the bud. just wished i could help on the compo. sorry.:confused:

[Jackie Schuknecht]

Thanks Harold, came up with a solution in macro. But still not convinced that it works as an image:(.
