Wonderful macro image Hazel, with wonderful tones and textures, really like the light on the skeleton of the leaf and diagonal composition, another to tag macros-textures don't you think:)
I tried this in b&w: the leaf turned silver, too close to the dark grey of the slate. I liked the way the leaf here is 'coppered' against the slate - it was just a sort of nothing colour when I picked it up.
Thank you both for your comments and OK I'll tag it - but I don't want to win.....
