Fantastic shot North Star!!!!  The b/w and the contrast level really bring out the beauty of the leaf anatomy. The droplets enhance the effect. Reminds me of the b/w that Ansel Adams took.  :)

Makes me want to listen to the Ligeti piano concerto...

Reminds me of fractals, for some reason.

Thanks!
(I'm still horribly unaware of most of Adams' work, I didn't even know he made more than just landscape photographs.  :-[ :-X)

Perhaps because that's what is in the photograph. ;)

Yes, I saw that (and a few others :) ) before responding to your previous post. :)
(And I also noted that Adams originally wanted to be a concert pianist but had too small hands  8))
