It's the edge of a dried dead leaf.
To everybody.... thanks for all your kind comments, very much appreciated :)
Unusual and thought-provoking - the shot works very well indeed. And the reason for no EXIF data.....?

An incredible macro Mike, the dof, detail and colour are superb.
I hope you enjoyed the weekend weather Mike. We're having a garden party next Sat. (it sounds grand but it's not lol), we're celebrating, MIL's 85th, eldest Son's 23rd, his girlfriends just qualified as a nurse and youngest Son's place at Uni. :) I've got everything crossed that the weather holds out till then.

@MaryB: :) Thanks Mary, yes the weather has been great up here aswell, we did have thunder & lightning late afternoon, but it's hot again now. I was in Chester but it was crazy with bus loads of tourists, the amount of people walking down Foregate was unbelievable.
Good luck with the garden party, hope the weather holds - enjoy - Mike
love the texture! great macro

Hi Mike... here is my second comment for this pic, because the first was considered as spam(and to be moderated). I'm impressed by the quality of your pics with this Coolpix... It's a great abstract composition, with soft and lovely colors.
12 May 2008 8:42am
@Francesc B.: Hi Francesc :) thanks for both comments, they came through ok ! I sent a mail to admin just to check that spam thing.... thanks again, take care.
Very nice and sharp texture for this leaf... It's good to see you again too ! :-) Colours are so delicate... like a strawberries ice cream... oh, by the way, where're yours ?
12 May 2008 9:00am
@zOOm: Tomorrow... I thought you would forget :) I'll put it on tonight, but believe me, yours are much better. Thanks for the comments Flo.
The narrow DOF is so cool here. Well done in framing it here

Dude, how are you getting so many comments?! Don't get me wrong, you're posting some great images but what sort of shameless self promotion have you been up to to get so many people to notice each day? lol! Don't you have a job?
I'm hoping that such a brash comment will be found deserving of a reply, otherwise I'll have to stay up til 5am to see your next image so I can comment before the rush ha ha ha!
