Thanks Koen, The lighting is completely natural, no reflectors, nothing. Quite hard sunlight that day, but it was the underside of the leaf, so it was only reflected fron the ground (lightish stones). I'm back in Cyprus next week, so I'll be looking out for another opportunity. I'll try putting a white reflector nice and close. Unfortunalely (and very infuriatingly) , my lab sliced a nice cut through this negative. The best I cold do was to get a scan of the 10x15 print which is not ideal. That's why I want to re-do it, and improve on things.
Talking of going to Cyprus, If anyone wants to see a picture of anything specific, let me know and I'll give it a shot. I'd quite like a mini-objective out there.
I think the composition is good. What was you lighting setup ? Am I right if I think it is a quite hard light coming from straight above the camera ? I like the subject and the way you composed it, but I think there are better ways of lighting...
