Leaf Skeleton

My son found this outside a few months ago. I used a clear glass table covered with white paper, flash from below, and reflector above and to the left. The background texture was added from another image.

Canon 40D. Canon EF-S 60 mm f/2.8 macro + 12 mm ext. tube. ISO 100. f/8. 1/8 sec.

pretty nice. I like the division of space. The background texture keeps it interesting. The larger version is even better. This would be cool printed large.

Provides a lot for the imagination, Doug. You can see it as what it is, but it also carries, for me, the suggestion of an aerial landscape view. I like this play between the large and the small.

Yes, sort of has a parched earth look to it. Good one Doug and congrats on your EP

Great shot Doug!

I also like working with close ups of leaves. It is amazing how much interesting textures and details you can find on them.

Well done!
