fall Burning-Wolf Leaf . . .

This leaf had some character ... critiques welcome.

Nice in theory, but it is slightly overexposed - I feel like the right hand side of the leaf has lost a lot of detail.

AH!!!! I just saw the dog!!! And now I see your title. Well spotted (that is... if it's natural.. if not, nice idea!)

but i stand by my though that it is a half stop over.

John: Thanks for the comment. Lighting and leaf are all natural - - backlit by afternoon Sun - - no manipulations or alterations.

I've come back to this image to take another squiz! I had assumed this has been selected out in PS. How did you manage the black bg in the field?

 

I think it's a great idea

Hi John: The dark "bg" is a large tree. There is faint shadow detail of the tree mainly on the left side. I exposed for the bright leaf, hence the tree becomes dark due to the f-stop difference. Hope that answers the "?" Thank you for the comments and for looking at the picture again.
