Green covered with red haze, very interesting effect. Well done and keep on experimenting.

Neat image Kathy. I like the color transitions, great comp, and great rim lighting. Also, excellent DOF/POF. :cool:

I like the color in this Kathy. For my tastes the wash is too dominating in the composition but that's the way I react to most washes. I do like the light a lot and I really like that silver plume near the center of the image. I just think I'd liked to have seen more of the leaf.

Really like the gradation in coloring.
