Shot in the Oneonta Gorge a couple of day ago. I'm really starting to have a hard time with these titles. :rolleyes:
5DMK2, 70-200L, f16 @ 0.6, CPL, Tripod. From Raw File, single exposure. Some burnin on rock in PSCS4.Could have put some more Saturation in leaf, but leaf actually looked like this

Like it Danny. Simple and effective composition. Colors are complementary as well. Good eye.

When you have trouble with titles--just go stream-of consciousness and name it the first thing that pops in your head.
I'll call it "Taking Flight" cause it reminds me of a swan or other water bird, spreading its wings and ready to fly.
Looks good, Danny--simple but effective, nice warm colors and detail. Id crop just a tiny bit off the lhs so the leaf stem top is at the 1/3 point from rhs. Nice! :smile:

Simple and effective sums it up Danny! I agree with Stan's crop suggestion.

Simple, graphic and effective. The dark rock textures really complement the leaf well. The leaf color is perfect.
