Beautiful macro and abstract at the same time... this green is so intense and DOF plays well its role... it really gives power to your picture. Thumbs up Anita !

Congratulations on your 100th post!

@Betty: Thanks, Betty. I didn't even notice. How did you know?

GJC from Kyoto, Japan

If this is "for fun" I can't wait to see when you get serious! :) Terrific. What I like about this is how the DOF and the line of the leaf draw us into the photo turning it from a two-dimensional image into a three-dimensional one. Very cool.

@GJC: Thanks! Maybe I should do more "fun" photos. :-)

Chris from South Jersey, United States

Very nice - did you add any post processing or is this how it came out of the camera? Wonderful composition (I like the strong diagonal element) and the colors are very "cool".

@Chris: Chris: Thanks! I always do some post processing because I shoot in RAW. On this one I did Levels, Color Balance (which I seldom use), Contrast, and Saturation.
