This is one of your best. The spots on the leaves add a lot to the whole photo, and of course the tones and colours are excellent.
Could you reveal how many shots you have stacked here, and what f-stop you used on the lens?

Thank you Michael. The first one is special, there is something with the lines and composition that makes it "pop" off the screen.
