Very sharp texture.

Looks like inside a lung...

Nice shoot!

Excellent, with the exact amount of abstraction.

thanks guys for your comments.
The title was slightly misleading as it's in fact just one leaf.
I placed the leaf into a black bucket filled with water to photograph it, the ridge is caused

Sharp lens!!

[wildoat]

Thanks guys for your encouraging comments, it's appreciated.

my copy of the 24-70afs f2.8 does seem to be very sharp, it's also, currently,
my closest focussing lens, which is why it was used!
