Not a bad idea. For me, though, this falls between pure macro, where what it is doesn't much matter, and normal, where I want to know what I'm looking at.
I like the bottom 2/3's of this. The top edge of the leaf is too dark and blurry IMO. Good detail in the areas of the leaf that are sharply rendered. The blue sky/mottled background works well also. Best of luck to you in the challenge.
