Sky King

Took several shots of this trying to get the right exposure of both

the leaf and sky....how did I do ?

I spent some time trying to do this the other day and ended up discarding my failed efforts. You got it right! I like the way you've composed it too. That little arc of a stem that holds the leaf is nice. The effect is nice. Congratulations.

Funny, you can see the result in yor minds eye, but at times it never seems to come out the way you hope...that I think is good and bad, perhaps the failures help us to find new experences.

Excelente encuadre, magnifica luz, perfecto color, con una brillante composicion, saludos cordiales Roger.

I'm with Tim - I've tried similar shots and can't get them to pop like yours does. Nice work, Roger!

This shot seems so simple, but perhaps I am still thinking with a film mind, and don't know it would be so hard...adjusted exposure manualy until I got what I wanted...though a bit on the dark side for the leaf...then worked up the exposure in PS to fine tune...again, glad you like the result !
