Red leaf

Wonderful focus causing me to repeat my phrase "Crisp as Fall".  Some sensors tend to overload the red but I find it to be very well represented in this image.  Talking about sensor - I am just wondering if a dark spot on a leaf at the back of the shiny/focused leaf is a sensor dust. Even if it was not I would have applied the healing brush to eliminate it.

I find the background to be colorful and appealing. Congrats on a fine shot.

Thank you for commenting on my two leaf photos. I'll try to remove the little spot on the red leaf, don't think it's dust. I find it difficult to get enough sharpness on objects, but I think this red one is quite good.

VERY NICE AND CLEAR MACRO WORK,NICE ORANGE COLOR.

I really like this, Sidsel.  The leaf almost seems three dimensional.  I instantly grabs the focus of my eye.  Beyond that, the colors and detail are excellent.  The blur of the background adds to the effect.

Very well done...
