Looks like it's entering (or exiting) a time warp! Wonderful DOF I just wish the OOF white area on the right were a tad darker

The first thing I thought of when I saw this was a surfer, then I saw your title. Very cool image here Cheryl and great composition. One tiny nit might be to have a little more room above the edge of the leaf on top. Great find and capture.

I am working on my color space issue and have taken some advise posted for me. This first image is not what I seee here at home as I see a beautiful vivid green image. This one is not even close. Sooo here goes the new posted ,new converted color space.

Great shot Cheryl and glad to see the color issue straightened out. FWIW, as you can tell by the other comments, it was still a great shot with the less vibrant colors too!

Great catch. I might clone out the brown in the center of the leaf.

Wonderful! I go on vacation and look what I miss! Excellent composition. I agree with everyone else that it looks like it's in some sort of vortex. :smile:

Nicely done. :toast: :toast:

(btw: I like both the colors of the original and the re-post, how's that for feedback :biggrin:)
