A nice black and white photo of a leaf showing some wonderful detail of the leaf's composition. The black background further shows the detail of the leaf itself.

A very interesting and unique visual presented here of this leaf. I love that you use black and white to highlight your subject. The veins of the leaf shine through on this. Thank you so much for sharing.

LeeAnn, this is a fine B&W picture of a cotton wood leaf. you were able to show the transparency of the leaf. Leaves take on many shapes but I am partial to the heart shaped leaves like this one. The best of luck in the contest. Ray

A good looking nature image presented here! Your fine, full and appropriate composition offers us a very enjoyable view of a single leaf in black and white. Textures, tones and detail are good. Exposure and sharpness are fine. Well taken!
