aahh, you should have cropped off the folded part of the leaf to the left. I like this idea, the outcome is good, I would have rated it higher if you would have submitted a cropped version like I suggested. Otherwise this is good and original.
Interesting composition. Original in terms of not showing hand or fingers, just their presence known due to the shadows. Does give that sense of "touch". Can't see how to do it, but would love to lose small white area in upper left. Congratulations, and good luck with the challenge.
the fingers behind the leaves definitely make this shot something interesting. I would have considered cropping the bright area on the left out of the frame. nice job.
Beautiful shot. The backlighting is very well done. Very strong composition. My only dings would be the cropping...I don't care for the open white space in the upper left.
