Drifting

Gallery: FloraPosted January 25, 20121,640 views15 comments

I usually post to the Avian Gallery, thanks for taking a look at my first post to Floral. An autumn leaf drifting in the water. Color of the water is from the surrounding trees. Had my birding gear with me- Nikon D300s with 300mm f 2.8 +1.4 tc, ISO 400, f6.3 Shutter 1/400. Thanks, Ray

Ray:

I like the simplicity of this shot. The leaf with reflection looks great with the shimmering gold water. With such rich color in the tree, it must be quite a sight.

Welcome to flora and look forward to seeing more of your posts here. Point your lenses on the ground when there are no birds around

Love this! I tried a shot like this earlier in the fall but couldn't seem to keep the leaf sharp. Nice job!

Great job of catching a lone leave floating in the midst of a colorful reflection. This does a fine job of telling the complete fall story.

From reading the comments thus far, it sounds like your leaf has a made quite a "splash" in this forum Ray..pardon the pun

Very nice!!
