I think I shall be killed for the shallow depth of field, as usual, but I love my Nikkor macro anyway. :) This is a bush that grows behind my house, and which looked good to me in my image "One", so I thought I'd look at it again.

I like the simplicity of this shot and the bokeh. The textures are good, but the light is a bit flat IMHO. I was out of town and didn't vote on this one. I probably would have gone with a 5 or 6.
Composition/subject - I wonder how many people "got" the title. The choice of subject is appropriate for the challenge (though I suspect some probably got tired of this subject while voting). Composition is more interesting than the normal "leaf" shot, though I can see moving the seam between the two leafs further left a bit.
Technical - Depth of field works for me. Lighting is a bit flat, but sufficient for this shot.
Meets challenge - It's green so it's a fair bet this meets the challenge.
My opinion - I think this would make an interesting series.
