Wonderful shot Sue. Have tried many times to get that dof on a fern and fail miserably each time. Nice work :)

I find the large dark mass at lower left a little distracting.

The background creates movement and it almost looks like panning was used in this photograph. The leaves are also symetric and centered in the photo thus making it a very well taken photograph.

Beautiful leaf. The dark spots in the background take my eye away from the leaf.

very delicate and pretty. a tighter crop on the left would make it feel more balanced, OR have more space to the left and use the negative space to your advantage

The patterns on the leaf make the leaf very interesting to look at, and it matches the background with an attractive effect.
