woa, i really like this. However i would have liked the entire leaf to be in focus, especially the edges, making it look sharp (like the left side of the closest leaf to the viewer)


And they're all made out of ticky-tacky
And they all look just the same.

Very nice shot mate. A perfect example of a B/W conversion earning it's place.

Very nice image!!! I like it alot.

1 suggestion though. On the right side leaf i see under and above something white blurred (very vague). Maybe make that black too?

I see, okay I got rid of that white smudge. Thanks for pointing that out to me Twin-X! You can see the updated photo in my original post.

Great shot! I love everything about it (focus, DoF, having the leaf on a solid black background) - the choice of b&w - although green on black would like good as well.
