Leather and Lace

Gallery: Macro & Close-upPosted January 11, 20111,272 views18 comments
A fallen oak leaf resting on the dew-covered leaf of another plant. Fibers on the leaf of the "other plant" collected the dew in a very interesting way, and I think the textures of the leaves go together quite nicely. This scene is exactly as I found it . . . the hints of green appear to have been revealed by melting frost running off of the edges of the oak leaf.

Canon 5D Mark II, Tamron 90mm for 2.5 seconds and f/22 (ISO 400).

I thought this was a Mike Moats! Great color...detail is superb and composition is excellent - nothing I don't like about this image and it's something I would love to take.

Wonderfully seen and executed Phil. I love how you placed the leaf in the frame, giving the viewer just a hint of the entire scene. Well done. :toast:

Phil:
I like this composition a lot. There is contrast of the textures and colors and the ice crystals are just great. Well seen and nicely captured.
