Lily Leaves

I'm crazy about close-ups of dripping leaves! And these are very well photographed and eye-catching, thanks also to the beautiful shade of green you have obtained. Regards!

I took this one after I'd finished my photos of the blooms.  Seemed like a good idea at the time.  The original file was a tad bright so I toned it down a bit in Photoshop.  Yeh, who could resist a plant, blooms or leaves, which are covered in raindrops?  Thanks for your visit.  Always a pleasure.  Best, LM.

This is awesome, Len! It really jumps out at you! Beautifully sharp and great contrasts! Not to mention the composition!

Long time, no see.  I didn't have to go anywhere exotic for this one. (backyard).  Sometimes the good stuff is right under your nose.  Thanks for taking the time.  Give me a heads up if you are ever in the neighborhood.  At least we'll have time for a coffee, at best perhaps a few hours photographing whatever.  Best, LM.

Really jumps out at me, almost 3D look you got form this motif. Superb light and contrast. One drop near the center is a bit too "hot" and could be distracting. You can copy the color there with the stamp tool.

Thanks for the tip (stamp tool).  I'll experiment with that.  The 'hot' spot does create a bit of tension when it attracts the eye.  Hadn't considered whether that was a positive or a negative element but I like your version better I think.  Best, LM.

Lily leaves after a rain. Your thoughts\critiques will be gratefully

received. Best, LM.

Nice angle, detail and color saturation! Rain drops are always a bonus in nature shots!

Perhaps not too abstract. Lovely colour rendition although the darker bottom half is a touch disappointing. Fine otherwise.

Thanks for weighing in here.  You've given me a couple of previously unconsidered features to think about.  And that's basically the reason for posting in the first place.  Best, LM.
