This is such a unique entry for this contest . The leaf clinging to the inside of the vase both above and under the water is so well captured. You have brought out the detail in the leaves .
Well focused, this image is clear, exposure is correct, the colors and tones appear true and natural.
Very clever . I like this ! Well composed and presented ! Very best wishes to you in this contest!

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! I thought that this was a bit out of the box and am glad that you could see that as well!

Wow what a story and a special idea to take such a picture with this special leaf with so many different natural colors from yellow to black, so being inside a vase it makes it again more outstanding - a great idea and perfect presentation - all the best for the contest

A "wallpaper leaf!" Its funny how leaves can do this -- almost like a rather rapid suction effect occurs between the drying leaf and the glass... An interesting post; thanks for sharing!

A good entry for this contest.

The camera settings are correct and enhances the leaf. focusing is extra sharp, I can see the leaf veins and the crenulations therein. Color and contrast has good eye appeal.

Why not include the entire vase in the shot?

Good luck in the contest ... Bob

Interesting shot. This clearly shows how we can find beauty even in small mundane things which we otherwise ignore. The entire composition, colours, light make this first-rate. Well Done!
