A Look at Autumn

I have no idea why I created this.

Feedback appreciated.

I think I know, but I cannot say.  Don't think too hard, just enjoy it for what it is and what it may symbolize.  I think a little less highlight reflection on the leaf would be better.  Maybe a polarizing filter would help that?  Cheers.

OK, I'm stumped as well.  Mostly about how you managed to squeeze a leaf into a magnifying glass without damaging it.  But the fact that I don't get it doesn't preclude my thinking that it took a great deal of creativity and craft to make it work.

I wish I could comment on these two related images together. The related tone of the element inside the magnifying glass is wonderful. I like it when you experiment, great stuff results.

Why is unimportant, that you did make these is!

Tony, You are correct. If you enjoy something you just enjoy it for what it is. Did I enjoy making this? Yes I did. However, I still do not know why. Thanks a lot. Thanks also for your suggestion.

Michael, Perhaps you words are a little too kind. I am not sure if you are joking or not about the fact I did not damage the leaf. Anyway! Thanks for taking the time.

Mark, Experimenting is fun. The magnifying glass belongs to a friend. (I have one friend you know.) He asked if I would like to use it in a photograph. I thought I would take a shot of it before using it as a prop. I thought the resulting image was a little boring and so thought I would tart it up a bit with the leaf. Thanks a lot.

Hi David,

I appreciate your photo because I see the focus on the lines of the leaf as the lines of the life in a hand and a questioning about future. Do I have to focus on my future ? Is it useful ? Helpful ? Necessary ?

In an other hand, colors, composition and light are beautiful. And, finally, it's the most important.

Best regards.

Benoit.

I think you see more in this image than I thought was present. However, perhaps we should all look more meaningfully at all images. Thank you.
