#494 Walnut

It's been awhile, been busy. This I believe is a black walnut. Photo taken in my back yard earlier this year.

Canon 7D, ef70-200 2.8L IS @ 200mm, AP, 1/1000sec, iso 4000, f6.3, no flash, handheld, cropped out about 60% of image.

C&C welcome.

Dave

David, the leaves all frame the "black" walnuts so perfectly without ever blocking the view of the walnuts. Good eye to see this composition.

The very even lighting works well here - no blown highlights or too-dark shadows. The image doesn't have a lot of impact, but the colors are beautiful, and there are no distractions. Maybe that little bug? :biggrin:
