Final Colours

Critiques are always appreciated.

I love this shot. And aptly titled. Very nice.

Nice work, Hanna. The muted colors and tones along with the nicely balanced framework of branches perfectly convey the mood of the season - visual haiku.

Nice composition which makes me think to a stained-glass window. Is just a pity that the depth of field is not sufficient for have the leaves in focus.

When this popped up it caught my eye and I thought, "stained glass?"....but no! Just a beautifully done shot and a great idea.

 

Well done! Gotta give this a 7/7...It is simply beautiful and a novel idea.

 

If you don't sell several prints of this at an art show, I would be very suprised. This is one of those "shots of a lifetime". Get it into a gallery, an art show, just get it somewhere. It should be shared with others.

Well, I am pleased - two people who saw what I did, which was stained glass. The leaves were intentionally left out of focus to give extra weight to the dark branches and leave areas of colour behind rather than distinct shapes. It was just at this shot that it began to rain and I had to dash for cover. Thankyou for your comments.

Another one who saw stained glass and I agree with you Hanna about the dof to increase the stained glass effect.

Bravo!

WOW. This could be a great enlarged print! Nice job

No, the leaves must not be in focus. The whole effect would be lost.

 

Hanna, as much as I love this and other recent uploads, I have to say that I am blown away by your new bio picture--what a great self-portrait!

Hi Lannie, thankyou on both counts. The bio pic was taken at my brother's 60th birthday party. If you look closely you can see where I cloned his big hand off my shoulder, so not a self-portrait but taken by someone who can make people look good after a few drinks.

 

I hope you've recovered from your recent hospital visit. You can never get out of those places too fast.

I love this pic, Hanna... Limited DOF with dark branches in the foreground makes a beautiful abstract feel in this image....

How did I miss this one? Very nice, Hanna. It does resemble stained glass so you have achieved your goal. I like your bio picture, too.

Beautiful, Hanna. My style.

 

Thank you for all of your visual delights throughout the year, and a Very Merry Christmas!!!!

Another beautifully patterned image which breaks the rules and is a winner.

Here it is 2008 and it still catches eyes! It's really wonderful.

Thanks for digging this one out of the oldies.
