I would love to hang this on my wall. The subject is very simple, yet elegant, perhaps because of the perfect composition. But that's not the only reason why this photo is a winner. What I like is that you captured the light. It strikes at a perfect angle, slightly behind the leaves, and made them glow. Even though the light on the front of the foreground itself isn't bright, you managed to capture amazing details that most people who passed by this tree probably don't notice. And for those reasons, I couldn't be happier to announce this entry the winner of Macro challenge #37. Young and Beautiful. This photo is an inspiration to the photography community. Even a very simple subject can be made beautiful, if the photography is done right.
