Extraordinary light and fine detail, Ram, and I like the comp with the off center leaf center. I've shot nasturtium leaves a few times and yet to get anything I'm happy with, but I'd be very happy with this one.

Nice back-lighting, and I really like the way the venation stands out. The hub of the main veins looks out of focus, sort of. What is going on there?

Not sure, Phil. May be it was raised a little bit or may be I focussed on the water drops above the center due to which the center itself looks a bit OOF ? --> Ram

Excellent use of lines and textures. The dew adds that final element to complete an excellent image.

Wonderful in every way Ram. I love the back lighting and the details. The dew drops are possibly my favorite part.
