John, my entry, the shot is very old, I was not seriously into plants then, so I dont know for sure what it was, but I think it was an extreme close up of a Rotala species, rotundifolia or indica, or something similar.

Wow, what a lovely surprise!

Thanks very much to those who voted.

Show's that you don't need an expensive camera too. My entry was taken with a 2MP compact.

Whatever the plant is, it certainly looks nice. The coloration is almost like something that was grown emersed. Great picture through and through. Congrats on the win.
