A beautiful well done shot.

Very interesting leaf. I don't think I like the bright background though.

Great texture and shot well executed. I like the lighting and the white background

Is that a leaf of some sort? I have never seen a leaf that furry looking before.

Great texture, maybe a close up would have worked better

I don't like the background, but the leaf does a great job in showing the texture. May I ask why you chose the background you did?

Never quite convinced about the high-key approach for textural shots - the brightness of the white always seems to overwhelm the ability to see the detail. That is slightly the case here - though I think you've got prety close to getting over it. Good on the surface of the leaf, rather more tricky toward the edges. It does allow those tones to come through very well. however.

I think this could have benefited from a little more unsharp masking, as it lacks a bit of crispness.

I love this one - one of the best I have seen in this challenge.
Its good that you used a plain white background - no distractions from the subject.

needs something else adding to it.

nice texture and I like the abstractness (is that a word?) of yur compostition.

Odd looking leaf. Great texture, and nice lighting. Doesn't do much to hold my interest, though. Sorry :(

How did you get that backround so white?!

Yes, lots of texture here. Solid image. To make it a bit better: closer crop to fill more of the frame with the leaf (even at the risk of chopping off parts of it)

Did you try this with a dark or earthly-color background? I think it would have helped more. Good luck.
