Leaf

The fact that I am drawn to these images must say something about one or the other of my brain cells.

Cheers,

Wonderful as a B&W image. Lots of texture. Nicely done!

Overall, I liked it; one of the things that I think makes this a good photo is that within the complex white vein patterns, one can also notice some fluctuations in tone. There are some darker spots and lighter spots in there; it's as though the leaf surface has some irregularities or bumps. I thought this was good, because it prevents the photo from appearing totally flat. That keeps the image interesting.

I guess some variations you could try for other, similar images could include some shots with glancing light, to show the shapes of the veining a little more. Maybe so those shadows could cast themselves on the surface of the leaf. This one is good, though. Good job. J.
