Chestnut Chill

Thank you for your comments and suggestions. Best, Leslie

Believe it or not this morning it was 30 in many areas around us ...we got down to a frigid 48 degrees ....near the gulf keeps us a tad warmer ,,:-) have a great Thanksgiving !

Happy Thanksgiving to you also! It warmed up and got up into the 40's a few days ago, dropped back down yesterday morning which presented the lovely frost.:) Enjoy your day, I need to check out your chess game:)

 

Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours!!

I like how you have composed the leaf itself, but I find the backround too distracting. The lighting is good, maybe next time place a black card behid the leaf to help with the backround. All the best AJ

Thank you for taking the time to view and your advice I do appreciate. I never really thought about placing a background behind an object that I am photographing in nature. I could work on the background in PS though, I do think it would be a nice contrast to the subject of the photo. Best regards, Leslie :)

It isn't exactly a macro though, at the time it would have been! Nature picture!

Well Seen....Really like the detail, color, lighting, contrast and dof.... Well Composed and Quite Beautiful!!!

Thank you both for your wonderful comments and for taking the time to view my photo! Best, Leslie

I like the color, texture and composition, but I think it would be better without the

strong horizontal line that goes along the top border. (awkward) It's similar to photographing a forest scene and then having one of the predominant tree trunks close to the vertical border. BTW, you can also use Photoshop to darken and/or blur those strong background lines.
