Ginko Leaves in Fountain

Looking forward to your comments, suggestions, and criticisms.

The Ginko leaves are everywhere this year near my former office in Towson, Maryland... and I love their shape, color and texture! You'll see them in several of my photos.

This image is taken straight down looking at a small fountain. The fountain, part of a memorial to Baltimore County residents who died during the Vietnam War, is almost hidden in a garden next to the old Courthouse. I only found the fountain by following its sound.

Hi Steve, the contrasting colours are great and good composition! I feel the blues are too dark IMO. Great work, keep it up.

Nicely composed and constructed...I really like the reflections of the parent tree's in the dark water - very good shot.

Very nice job! Great color!

Realy cool!

Ginko leaves have such an appealing shape that you have exploited beautifully in your composition. The curved fountain edge recapitulates the shape of the leaves, pulling the composition together and the reflected branches add interest to the background. Color is perfect in my opinion. Well done!

Steve, I really like this. The reflection of the trees in the dark deep blue water is my favorite part. I would have experimented with the leaves.. perhaps 1 lonely leaf in the bottom left corner? (Like that leaf in the middle?) Not that I mind 3 of them.. just think that 1 might've had a stronger impact since your background is already so rich. Just a thought :)

Simple and elegant, nice patterns, contrast and details. I like this sort of images, beautiful capture.

Very, very nice. Dream picture,

Very nice shot, the reflection of the tree in the water make the shot for me. composition is also very good. Regards, Jim.

Hi Stephen. I like this a lot, compositionally and colorwise.

Looks great here too! I see the photo.net crowd is liking this image also! A winner!

Very Nice!
