    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.
