good quality B&W, great contrast and tones and subject--i wonder if the blurred stem tip is a little distracting?

Gorgeous.

That's not very helpful, but I don't really have any criticism to offer. I just like it.

8 - Very nice. Criticism; not much, perhaps a crop variation or 'bigger width' may have made this even better, not sure. Toning works well. Good fit for the Challenge.

Striking B&W...different take on the standard "leaf pattern". Is that frost? I like it.
