Clever use of a simple subject Jackie -- I really like the dof and bg that you chose! It seems this image also has lots of possibilities for further modification, perhaps as a vertical with a bit of rotation. Very creative!

Nice abstraction By having the leaf sideways I think the parallel veins, upper leaf margin and converging midrib really give the picture some flow towards the leaf's tip.

Like Jerry, I like the flow of this- wonderfully simple, yet full of energy and sweeping motion. Nice!
