I really like the glow on the background leaf, but it distracts slightly from the smaller version. It would've been nice to have the small leaf slightly sharper or brighter/darker to highlight it a touch more.

Background leaf looks like a surreal landscape with a forked road. I want to dive in and go exploring :).

Gave it an 8, probably deserved a 9 in retrospect.

Beautiful. This one is a winner to me. The lighting and composition are great. This is simply a beautiful image. It offers suggestions of delicacy and strength at the same time. I find this image to be so evocative. It could be used to express themes ranging from science to art or from nature to religion. Well Done and Good Luck.

I like the colors of the big leaf, but I almost lose the smaller leaf in the picture

Neat idea but think if they were just alike and side by side this would of had more impact. Just my thoughts.

No offense, but you have two different types of leaves instead of a miniature version of the larger one. I do like the detail of the large leaf, miniature is the subject and shouldn't that leaf be in focus

Bang on with challenge! Great focus and colours 9

Lovely back lighting on larger leaf but the small front one is too much in shadow. I wonder if it would be possible to bounce a touch of light onto that small leaf without losing the backlit effect on the larger? 6

Beautiful crisp detail on the main leaf background. The lighting is fantastic. Way to go on making a traditionally "boring" subject very appealing!
