Great shot, very well done
Awesome

Definitely part of my collection of backgrounds. It follows the basic requirements of a good background with the low contrast periphery as stated by bradlis7. Not busy and a very nice one for darker themes.

Works great with my icon placement, with plenty of low contrast areas, but the leaf adds some interest to the screen as well.

I gave it a 5.

Nice photo and excellent placement of subject. I'm really liking the contrast against the dark background, makes for an excellent wallpaper. Good stuff.
