Thank you everyone for your kind comments.
For those curious about the technique, this was taken using a small desk lamp at an oblique angle, 1.3 sec at f14 ISO 200 (should have used 100). The only manipuation was a little unsharp maskin PS.

Wow – this is stunning. The red really sets the skeleton of the leaf off. Fabulous catch!

This is an elegant and beautiful shot. The texture reveals a myriad of intricate imagery and the colors are stunning creating this delicate leaf. My impression is of the orient given the simplicity and color. In this case less is more!!
