A shot from last summer that I found while browsing through my archives. It was taken close to the highest mountains of Austria on a meadow full of flowers.
Canon 5DMII, Sigma 150mm Macro, Polarizer. f/4-ISO100.

Thanks for all comments & critiques.

Hallo Andreas,

Interesting comp. I love these green tones and the subtly contrast at the top of the leaf. A bit summer.....Nice shot.

Very interesting shot. I would probably crop a bit from the right side.

Great shot. You can't get much more of a shallow DOF than this and still great focus and detail on the very tip. I also really like the BG with the two different tones of green. Well done.

A beautiful swirl and a lovely background Andreas - simple, elegant, and sensuous.

Superb, Andreas! Love the monochromatic presentation. Appropriately
the main subject is off center, and the spiral gives a feeling of movement.
Also good DOF.

Beautiful greens, Andreas, love all the softness ending in the detail in the leaf tip
