 105mm macro lens with a 50mm reversed in front of it. No cropping. It's actually a green leaf, but I used a red poster board as a background to reflect color with my flash. The crap on the upper right corner is sensor dust. I really need to clean it.

Just a shot I took that kind of fit into a challenge. I like it because of the way the colors work together.

lovely tones and composition - border is a bit too wide and white has it stand out too much imho - one of my ribbon picks

Pretty cool, I love the two colours in this shot and how they affect each other and the soft focus ties it nicely together, excellent shot.

I sorta like the soft focus. It works here.

Great color! The stem looks a bit out of focus. Maybe try making the lighting a bit more dramatic. Overall a beautiful composition!

The focus here just isn't good - some of the leaf needs to be in focus to give the photo some visual interest. Also, it looks like you have a hair on your lens or sensor.
