Hello Raimundo,

A very nice composition focusing on just the colors and patterns of this interesting foliage. Generally, an image like this requires sharpness throughout the image, any softness will detract from it slightly, so the slight softness in the leaves that are the softest, just to the left of center, are a slight distraction to me. A smaller f/stop was called for and possibly fa different focal point that would have gotten the closest leaves in focus.

But I still like this photo, just suggesting what I feel would have made it even better.

Thanks,
John
