Palm Leaf

Your critique please.

Good photo! Lacks just a bit of sharpness, you could consider doing that on your PC. Also for some reason I like it better mirrored so the stem comes from the lower left, but that's very subjective I admit (well...isn't all critique?)

Thanks for your inputs, Theo. I guess the lack of sharpness is probably due to two reasons: first, the plane of the leaf was not entirely parallel to the focal-plane; secondly, since the light was very low (and I was not carrying a tripod either) I could not use a smaller apperture to compensate for the oblique leaf-plane. I will give the digital correction a try.
