My backyard continues to surprise and please me...

A nonconformist.  The rich grays are great, providing a perfect backdrop for the star of the show.

A beautiful shot with very nice lighting, Bulent!

I want to express my admiration for this picture. It seems weightless, floating, etherial ; both a natural, external portait of a leaf delicately suspended between branching fronds and the manifestation of a kind of internal moment of pure perception.. I think a balanced picture like this can come about only when the mind of the photographer is itself (at least temporarily) in balance. Art reflects life on both macro and micro levels.

Many thanks for your attention and kind comments on this shot from my backyard.

Jack, a temporal balance is probably a basic need for many. It had really been one such period that day...

The light plays important role here and you managed it very well. I also see an interesting 3D effect.
