Description Taken in the tropical greenhouse of the Paris' National History Museum.

There was this small leaf under a beautiful even if strong light, resting on another huge leaf of some tropical plant.

This was about two meters above the ground, and I had to hold the big leaf in one hand and take the picture with the other hand, so I had a hard time focusing. I know the subject is not sharp enough to make this picture perfect...

No selective colouring, the light just makes the wide dark green leaf seem white...

Yes indeed. The picture may be nice, but anyone could have taken it.
in fact, I even kinda missed it.
But it was an incredible opportunity to find those two leaves at the perfect position, one above the other, and the sun lighting them correctly...

Thanks !
I am also very proud of this picture, but only when I see the thumbnail. This lack f focus really disturbs me.
Do you think I am to hard with myself ?

I like the focus ...may I ask where you had the focus set to
center or off.....center..

Well, I focused manually to the closest possible, and then moved the camera (easier than moving the subject or the focus ring) to where I thought would be the best.

nicely done.....!!
I'm always getting close with the camera depending
on the lens I use......
the lighting behind comes through very nicely...very warm.
