appleshade

This was my best capture during a visit to Apple Hill Orchard, in

Canterbury New Hampshire. I would appreciate any critique you might

want to include.

I took this with a Nikon N80--

This is a gorgeous photo. Your use of an "s" shape to wind the foliage across the frame in a diagonal really works well here. I'm not sure how you got the entire background so completely green, but it works brilliantly for this image.

Great use of lighting, too. I even like the blown highlights in the bottom left corner. The contrast between the blown highlight and the detail in the shadow between the apples is very eye catching. Without letting something in the photo go completely white or completely black, the photo will always look flat. The black branch and the white highlight take this image throughout the tonal scale.

Just beautiful. Excellent work.
