This was taken in our greenhouse here on campus. I didn't know how well the lighting would hit the hairs on it until after I took it. I love how you can just feel the texture of it.

superb texture - one of the better ones seen so far. think i would position the leaf a bit more to the left rather than dead centre. but full marks for a good sharps shot. 8

+ Excellent capture of texture; I can almost feel it.
- Composition could be improved (perhaps a different POV?). DOF could be shallower to bring more attention to the plant and less to its surroundings.
great capture for the theme. well exposed and good color. the cropping is poor, though, as th bottom leaf is cut off awkwardly. I would have preferred either to see more of it or to crop in tighter to focus on the inner leaves.
Beautifully done - real fine detail as is essential in my view for this challenge. Great tones, great subtlety to the moment of light you've chosen. Perhaps a touch centred in photographic terms - I would have placed it further to the left, so that the eye could wander into the distnace of the bank and return to the plant. Serene colours.
Yes nice texture. I'd suggest you simply the composition. Areas ouside the plant are busy and somewhat distracting particularly on the top right. I feel a tighter frame would still give sense of location yet it would simplify composition.
