I liked the way this small leaf curled up on this plant with the pink of the bloom in the BG.

I like how the shallow dof created the semi-abstract shapes and colors. The bottom edge of the leaf provides the focal point. The left side looks a bit empty to me, so you could look at cropping about half of the empty space.

This leaf did have a lovely edge to it! I agree with Scott about perhaps cropping out some of the empty space.

That is a neat curl, John and the green leaf works so well with the pink background. I too was thinking about cropping a bit from the left,. That would move the leaf curl away from the center.

Thanks for your comments. I have posted a re-post which is basicly the same except it is cropped off of the left side a bit.

The pink in your BG makes a big splash John, I like this.
And I agree with Scott, the short DOF has created an interesting semi-abstract of shapes & colors.
Nice job working with that MP-E65mm "microscope"
