I like the green portion of the leaf and the many small veins. Unfortunately, the brilliance of the main vein is overpowering. It's too blinding IMHO and works against the rest of the image. I also wonder if you could have toned down the noise in the green area. You don't indicate what post processing you performed, but I think running the image through the NeatImage plug-in would have taken care of that. There is potential here...but the focus should be on the green, not the white, portions of the photo.

Not one of your better photos. The veins are so bright that they seem to be almost blinding. It really even stops you from wanting to look at the rest of the photo. The shades of green are very nice though.

I wasn't fond of this one mainly because the veins were so bright - to me it seemed harsh and contradicted the softness of the leaf. I suspect, however, that you did this intentionally - it just didn't appeal to me, or the intent didn't quite get across.

Nice glow but maybe a bit bright :) Great color and very abstract!

The noise in the green areas is a bit distracting.
