Hey!This is a pretty decent score - especially considering how well your other picture did last week.
I really like leaf pictures. It's spring here so most of ours are green now. I like the color and texture in yours. Detail and clarity are really nice.
I guess I agree with the others about the backlight. The only way I can think of to avoid it easily would be to use a lightbox, but I think that the black background looks much better than white would. The geometric circle juxtaposes with the organic outline of the leaf rather nicely. So... I'm not really sure how you could've shot it better. I wish some of those commenters would've made suggestions on how to avoid showing the light source while still keeping a black bakground.
You also did a nice job with the exposure. The area where the veins come together in the leaf looks a bit fuzzy, but focus overall is good.
Overall, it doesn't really have any major problems IMO. It just isn't a standout macro. (congrats on the ribbon btw) |

| The ring of the light source in the background seems to detract from this shot a lot. |

| the lighting is a good idea although to my humble point of view, we shouldn't see the light itself. |

| The backlight and holder itself distracts from the leaf (in my amateur opinion). |

| Nice shooting. I do however think the light is a distraction because it's round shape is different then that of the leaf. |

| I find the light-source a little distracting - a pity, as the leaf's semi-transparency is fascinatiing. |

| Nice leaf. I think this would work better if you couldn't see the light source at all - just the backlit leaf. |
