Leafrog

My first photographic endeavour for a long time...

A great version of this theme. Very aesthetic. Superb! Best regards, Sakke

Awesome capture. Top notch.

Super capture, great sharp!

Awesome! And humorous, too!

Unusual, strong & even funny! A very good return.

A pleasure to look at. Congratulations

A very nice exposure and cute shadow.congrats.best regards..

The first seems to always be the best.

Great image. Beautiful colors and details. I like this shadow, well done

Beautiful!

Great idea, very nicely presented

being there at the right time takes attention. great shot - the best of the bunch!

Pete, I never knew you were such a talented hand-shadow puppeteer. :-)

 

Seriously, the exposure of the leaf is wonderful. The detail under the frog makes this almost appear as a composite, but knowing you, it more than likely isn't.

Good to see you back Peter!

 

Top shot...great tones and detail. Really stands out from the crowd.

 

 

 

 

Thanks for sharing this great work.

Interesting that the leaf veins are visible in the shadow.

Lovely original take on subject 'frog'. Good clear silhouette and fabulous detail captured in the leaf tissue. Beauifully illuminated, highly worthy.

Very attractive shot with great colours and contrast...Regards

Great eye and idea!

Excellent shot, excellent composition! 7/7

Well, thank you all for your kind comments!

Trying to capture something like this has been a long time ambition of mine and was inspired by an original photo from a fellow australian photographer, Nick Lagos.

No composite here, but underside of the leaf was somewhat brightened using ACR and CS3.

Peter... This is what I like to call a "scroll stopper". Beautiful color, detail and composition... excellent! Mike
