Good composition. The edges of the leaves are unusually bright. I wonder what is causing that. They also look a bit hairy at places. And the title also stumps me. Is it the name of the plant or what? Your website has a lot of interesting images but a its a pity that I can’t understand French.

Very symmetrical image and clear composition but the image looks a little noisy and bright.

Nice image. I agree on the brightness. I too do not understand French so your website kinda lost me as well. But, there were some nice macro images there.

Lovely picture. The deep green of the baby leaves and the blueish green of the adult leaves create a delightful array of color and texture. I like it a lot!

I thought Hosta (plantain lily) when I first saw it, but the fuzzy edges threw me off.

The edges of the leaves are white because that’s no doubt the natural pigment(not weird lighting). It’s not a hosta, as they don’t grow from a stem and don’t have alternate leaves. But I love it–foliage plants are fascinating–textures and colors, veins, flowers, hairy stems, waxy leaves……….always a photo-op! Tres bien.

yeh excellent symmetry and composition, the lines that divide the leaves in half divide the whole picture in half, both ways, into quarters, all mirrors of each other. its almost 3D like a kaleidoscope. nice curves hues and tones. beau comme une femme

I guess from your locations we should be getting a lot of good shots from you in the future.
