Hi again,

I figured I would post one of my photos that I took this past fall. I like this image because it has a different perspective. I saw the leaf on a semi-frozen stream bed. To get the angle, I laid down about 6' from the leaf.

Any comments, suggestions would be very welcomed!

Sharon

I like it a lot! The composition works even tho the tip of the leaf is clipped. The lighting is a little hot. Maybe you can tone it down in PS with Shadow/Highlight. Over all verywell done!! :toast:

Love the arch in the leaf's back and the angle you took it from. Being careful about including the whole subject, or zooming in is my only suggestion

This is a different perspective Sharon. I do like the curve and the angle of the leaf. Agree about the clipping of the top of the leaf. :smile:

Thanks all for the feedback! I had another shot of this leaf but it blurred too much to fix, probably due to photographer shivering. :)

Sharon,

NICE . . . A very different perspective, and I like the change of pace. I was wondering if you used a circular polarizer?
