Wonderfully abstract! I especially like how the vains near the bottom seem to glow.

The harsh lighting makes the venation really stand out, but to me the strong contrast it creates isn't consistent with the character of the leaf.

This has kind of a "wallpaper" feel to it, not something that I generally like, but this has such crisp clarity and beautiful color to it. Very nice lighting, but a somewhat static composition.

I have been seeing lots of poinssetia leaves for this challenge, but so far yours is the most interesting and best focused

Technical: fits the challenge. Exposure composition focus lighting all good, the detail in the veins is very good.
Personal: Makes an interesting shot, almost an abstract.
My vote: 7

Cool. Very mesmerizing. The coloration, definition and shadowing of the veins are remarkable. It's like following a maze. The glare at the bottom center is a little bit distracting and could probably be cropped just at the level of the 2nd rib from the bottom. But I am just being petty. Good job!

This is the third or fourth leaf I've seen in this challenge, and I think I like yours the best. The focus is excellent.

Interesting. My 9 year old came in as this came up and said "that's cool!" Very nice detail. Brightness at bottom of shot is a little distracting.
