Metallic leaves

Metallic leaves in a pond in the English Lake District.....thanks for

all comments and ratings!

Nice and very abstract composition.

Similar to some attempts I myself have carried out, not on leaves, but on different plant-seeds. A good execution, which I think could be enhanced with some serious unsharp mask:

Very striking. Great idea and great tonality. The sharpened version is a bit better.

This has to be one of my favorite looks for wet foliage. Similar to the bronzed look in some portraiture.

 

You've probably seen it, but this is one of my all time fav's in this treatment:

Superb definition and detail.

Super clarity and execution!

Thanks for the comments and for the sharpened version - I agree it's much improved! Aaron, I was following your advice on a previous version of this photo when I went for the metallic look here - glad you think it's worked well. Best wishes to all, Hugo

Cool texture and colour! The raindrops look like eyes... which adds to the surreal feel.

excellent abstract Hugo..congrats.

you managed to turn a overphotographed subject into something fresh and interesting. I agree on the sharpening. Regards!

Very good ideea very well executed. Nice matching title. I like it a lot. Congrats !

This is a good one. The tones, light & composition are excellent.

Very good Hugo!

Love the effect you did over these leaves, looks really metalic and the drops detail makes this one :o)
