Todd: What a cool find and a fine capture. Marvelous BG and I like your DOF choice. I like this very much as is and also like it cropped to 4:5 but not quite as much as your natural 4:6. You might also give me a few more pixels on the right side or perhaps clone away a tiny bit of the end of the stem to get it a touch further from the edge. Well seen and superbly captured. >=))>

Great eye to see and capture this. A stellar little piece of the natural world. the colors and structure is great. I'm stretching for anything to critique but it wouldn't hurt if the subject stood out from the bg just a wee bit more. Very nice as is

Love the colors Todd and the bg. I either like Bill's crop suggestion or I wish the stem of the leaf were rotated just a bit more CCW. All subjective of course. It's a beautiful image as posted.

Todd:
Nicely seen and captured. Like the graphical verticals interrupted by the yellow leaf. :toast:
