Love the use of the empty space surrounding the leaf. It also almost looks like a blade of grass. The lines in the background are very complementary. Cool tones too.

I agree, elegant simplicity and attention grabbing. Well done ~ Regards Bob

Very nicely done. Very elegant in its simplicity. The separation from the background is very good and the detail on the leaf too. Well done.

if minimalistic can be called "attention-grabbing" then this one is it for me! "gravity" catches my eye in the thumbnail and then has me studying it for some time!

this "blade of grass" may very well be a metal blade so for me there is a bit of symbolism here. i can imagine all sorts of symbolic meanings in this image, including what may happen to our world if we don't pay attention to climate changes etc. the blood/tears of mother nature are just dripping from the symbolic "blade!" shu
