 Thanks so much for the comments. This is the leaf I used for these shots in March 2008.

I’d kept the leaf in a drawer in the kitchen and it didn’t look that good anymore but it still had such a lovely shape so I decided to use it again. I lay the leaf on a piece of wet glass which lay on a piece of yellow board, got the ripples by dripping water onto the glass sheet.
There are so many absolutely beautiful images in this challenge, I’m honoured to have such a super score.

You shoot so many in your kitchen, you should be shooting for the Cable TV's Food Channel.

Well... I think the tight crop kinda works here, but I'm not too sure about the leaf itself... I don't know... something about it makes me wish it were shaped differently in the frame...

Very nice. I like it. OK I'm moving up to an 8, because my husband just stopped by and said "I'd give it more than a 7."
