Euphorbia and Leaf

Gallery: FloraPosted April 29, 2010155 views11 comments

Shot last fall. Euphorbias come in such a wide variety of sizes and shapes. They seem prehistoric. This has a scent of freshly ground coffee.

Resurrected from a forgotten pile...now...for what reason? I like the clean lines, simple design and combination of colors. It was discarded because I had used the same leaf in another shot.

So, don't leave home without it? Very nice capture Ken. Looks like fireworks coming at you. Very well executed and nicely presented.

Ken: I liked this from the thumbnail. Excellent arrangement and color palette. Send your forgotten images to me in the future.

This is wonderful . . . I wish it were mine! The splash of red and the shape of the leaf both contrast nicely with the surrounding pine needles, and the composition is perfect.

Ken, IMO a terrific image! Love the richness of texture and the simplicity, yet there is still a story told. My kind of pic

I love it Ken. Great shapes, textures and patterns. I think for me I like a bit cropped off the top - sort of to a 4:5 ratio.
