Leaf road map

That's a great idea and I too think the mono image works better.

I have tried detail images of leaves but have not considered using a flash to push light through the leaf.
 
Very good indeed, I do prefer the monochrome version :)
 
Sorry to be boring but the mono for me too!
It may be with alternative processing the color one could match the impact of the B&W, but I'm not sure it would.
Nothing wrong with the color one, I'm sure it would collect likes if posted on its own...
 
I like the mono but would prefer it a bit brighter or least with the some whites

Here is the type of thing I mean it is subtly different

I appreciate the feedback and yes it does look better with a bit more white areas.
I sometimes worry that I will blow the whites out, so I'm maybe a bit over cautious.

Keep an eye on the histogram and switch on the clipping warnings and work closer to the right this was well short
