I really wasn't going for this look when I was taking the photo, though. I was walking around the nursery (yes, it's gardening season again), and came across this "Black Stemmed Elephant Ear" plant. What caught my eye was the way the sun was shining through the front of one giant leaf, making all of the little veins show clearly. That's really all I wanted a picture of. I was pleased with how it came out, though.
Like it, or don't.
------------- No post work done, aside from a very slight crop, and borders. I have a thing for the asymmetrical. The center of the leaf is not the center of the photo on purpose.
Edit: Updated with the correct version. The first one, I had saved with the wrong color profile, which dulled out the colors quite a bit.
Fantastic leaf macro. The lines and veins form an excellent composition. This piece is anything but simple. :]

Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it. Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article.
In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.
