Very charming composition in green. Good contrast with the light-reflection on the leaves and the shadowy bits in between.
(Had the same idea to take a shot of our "green wall", but not done yet)
Thanks for sharing.

I never realized that Windows Media Player could be used for photo-editing. I'll have to give it a try, as all such software has its strengths and weaknesses. This is certainly an apt contest entry. Maybe you've hyped the color a little beyond the point where I could believe it might be natural, but aesthetically the effect is striking, and pleasing enough.

It was Windows Live Photo Gallery. The color was hyped a lot but I like the effect that was given. Thank you for the advice and kind words.

This is good entry to contest. I love the vivid colors of the leafs, and the reflection of the light in them. Great sharpness and good techniques, like an excellent framing. Well done.

Monstrous green.
Lively lush foliage.
Overhead lighting.
Tight cropping.
Clear focusing.
The dark areas provide an effective DOF.
Thanks for sharing.

Comment from CheriseFoster
I find this really quite striking. I love the color green and these lovely leaves are emphasized nicely by the dark voids in between. The leaves look lush and vibrant with great clarity and the lighting is also very good. Love it:)

You have nicely captured the range of contrast afforded by the shadows and the leaves. For the majority of the image the focus is slightly soft and thus you have lost a lot of detail. The lighting is good but I feel you have adjusted the temperature a bit too much so that the vibrancy almost shouts out at you. Thanks for sharing
