Leaves 7

Thanks.

I like this photo because I do not know if I am looking from above or from below, this kept me for some time by watching it long enough to also find that there is a kind of 'movement' as well' I like the way you present it .

 

Hi Robert, this really grabbed my attention. It's a beautiful image with nice depth. All the best.

Really well done. I've been trying to do something like this for a while now and failing miserably. But this shot has magnetism; great comp and color and mix of light with slightly darker background for a terrific, almost 3D, sense of perspective.

Robert, a great shot, I love it, cheers jana

Thanks, everyone, for your comments. This one turned out better than I expected. I shoot a number of this type of photos every year, hoping to get it right sometime . . . still not there.

Normally, I would want to have the dominant portion of the image less centered. This is an exception. The brightest, sharpest leaf is right at home exactly where it's at. I love the way you've managed to keep the separation between the top layer of leaves and those below. Merging is always a problem for me when I attempt this type of shot.

 

Terrific sharpness and tonal range in the leaves. You should be happy with this!

Thanks, Laurie, I was pretty happy with this one. I shoot this type of shot a lot, and this is one of the better ones.

Robert, I find my eye looking for repeating patterns everywhere here. An intriguing shot!

Yes, intriguing patterns and colors. First I thought about more DOF, but probably the contrast of sharp detail and blurred leaves is more interesting. Just perfect.

Carsten and Colin, thanks for stopping by--I admire both of your work greatly.
