As mentioned before, cropping just a tiny bit of the top and bottom should work in the picture's favor, I guess.
Anyway, very nice shot in many terms: Colours, lighting, vibrance are great
Since this is (kind-of) macro photography, I'd have liked to also see the focus just that bit more "perfect" - the image doesn't seem 100% sharp (like 97% - so still very sharp, of course 
Oh, and I just realize that the way the "lines" in the leaf are aligned works really well, so the perspective is well-chosen.
Nice one! (:

Thanks very much!
I see what you mean about the focus. I'm pretty proud of it because it's the first time I've got anything like this so nice, but it could do with being a *little* sharper. I think it's probably a mixture of focus and the fact that I don't have any decent photo software to sharpen it up in. I still have to wrangle with my camera to get it to take decent close-ups.
Glad you like it though!

This is a very interesting shot. I love the way the water droplets stand out from the leaf. Both the top right and bottom right corners are a bit distracting. I would recommend altering one of those so that the eye can flow throughout the entire photo easily. The shades of green are brilliant, as is the texture of the leaf. Beautiful work.

Thank you very much, I'm glad you like it.
I see what you mean about the right corners though, the vein at the top and the slight shadow at the bottom, right? They kind of distract the eye. I'll try and crop it down slightly and see how that looks.

Interesting shoot, it must have been taken under daylight wich is hard to get the rigth ligth and dark proportion in this case it seems to be working well. The subtile line of the leaf create an interesting pattern broken by the water drop. The only thing i think you could have donne better is use the main line of the leaf to help support the smaller one going from a corner to the middel or straighten the on in the center, but over it is a pretty good shoot good job!
