Ok...I'm going to try my hand at this critiquing bit... Plants make really interesting subjects, I like this one for the circular pattern of the leaves and the drop of water in the center. But (and there's always a but isn't there....), I think the lighting is rather harsh, the sun is casting hard shadows on the upper right and lower right leaves, which detracts from the image. Also IMHO...Straight on dead center images tend to be a bit boring, maybe a slightly different camera angle, I'd love to see that droplet of water really stand out, with early morning light and a side view maybe... or at least get the droplet of water out of the center of the pic. So that's my two cents, not sure if it helps and I hope I didn't hurt your feelings. Michelle runs away before she can get yelled at.

I am, therefore I create.......
