Floating by

The elements of this shot seem nearly perfect. I am impressed whenever a foliage shot is worth even a second glance because it is so easy to fall into visual cliche...but this is quietly inspired. Congratulations ! Best regards, sarah

A simple shot....too simple?

Simple works for me :) I like how this frame contrasts the individuality of isolated leaves with the indistinguishability (ouch too many syllables.. headache..) of leaves in a mass. If you were a sociologist or a philosopher you'd have lots of parallels to draw. Good separation of subject without having to quash two negs together.. Great colour, and I love the oil painting type reflection too. Wonderful effort! Cheers,

very simple..very original!!!

Wonderful photo. Well done!

scatto originale e bellissimi colori!

I love the simplicity of this. It would be nicer without the grain but it isn't a big issue. Well done again!

No, it's not too simple. Colours are simple and appealing

Not too simple at all. The content may be "simple," but I like the focus on the floating leaves (present tense) while their origin (the trees, past tense) is both out of focus and reflected. This is an interesting way to emphasize time. Imagine if you had crouched down and raised your camera, so that the trees were included in the image and in focus....it wouldn't have been as effective.

Full marks for seeing the opportunity that most of us would have missed - and a joy!

Nice colors but I detect quite a lot of noise on the water. Thanks for visiting my site.

Great shot, I see the grain, but I love grain if it is used to build the shot as in this case. 400 Gold will do that, but still give very nice color balance.

With this only shot, I can see you are full of sensibility. It says much about you. Thanks.

In this world of choices, the Keen Observer (You) sees the extrodinary in the ordinary....the grandure in the plain, and the wonder of simple things. Thank you for knowing how to find a diamond in the rough and keeping it as precious, a gift you have.(This is where I fell in Love with you, at this point I had no more resistance to your charms Linda.) *R*

The world we know, and the world reflected, one we live in, the other inspected....one real, the other reverse... Side to side....up, down....Tis perverse , let the heart decide.....W. Roger Keagle....TMWLY !

Pardon me for breaking the romantic exchages, Roger & Linda. If I may, I'd say this is the type of images that tickle my fancy as well. Leaves and reflections. Well done. As for the noise, I'm sure a selective blur would take care of that easily. Okay, you two may resume your position...^_^

Wilson...that was back in May

Since taking this, I have learned so much more in photoshop. Makes me want to take all of my uploads off like Amelie and start over again.....

I certainly understand that, Linda. I wouldn't bother it much if time doesn't permit because, IMHO, the concept communicates very clearly. All the PS work can come later. Nice one. ^_^
