"River Leaf of Spring"

This is a photo of a simple leaf which I found when shooting some

motorcycles in upstate New York. The thing that caught my attention

was that the leaf was submerged under a half an inch of running water

at the top of the dam. I thought it was beautiful so I shot it.

 

What are your thoughts?

 

As always, your ratings and consturcive comments are greatly appreciated.

Always a big fan of your work!

Wow... Thank you very much!

Quiet original shot Norman. Did you focus manually or if not, what setting did you use so not to focus on the water surface as I notice only a shallow depth of field. 6/7

Thanks for taking the time to look at my work. I only had a few seconds to grab this so I didn't have time to make a lot of adjsutments. The focus mode was "One-Shot AF". The lens was my 70-200 f/2.8 IS "L" which I really love. I took a two shots... But this one was the keeper.

 

Thanks again for the kind words. Going to any air shows this year? I have three booked and can't wait. Will post when I can.

Hi Norman,

Re. Airshows:- Martin & Myself are off to Duxford(Cambridge,UK) at the weekend(7th&8th May)for their VE Day anniversary airshow. This is the First airshow of 2005 & with the help of the weather, hope to get some terrific photo's. I will also be praticing with my new Loreo 3d-Lens-in-a-cap. Find yourself a pair of red/cyan glasses as I may put up a 3D(Anaglyph) folder if I get some worth showing. Here's my mate's Norton 850 engine in 3D as an example.

I see your flower shot now..besides your sport cars..! This one is very nice ..!Good textures..!

Thank you very much Peter... I have been away from my camera for too long.
