Autumnal Birch Leaves 1....it's macro time again!

It's time to dust off that macro lens again and make the most of the great leaf textures and colours.

Top Gear Top-tip: if your leaves are wet, press 'em on your trousers to remove surface water - that stops any glaring highlights.

Thanks for looking as ever

that's a nice one Andy. Sharp throughout, nice even lighting and lovely colours. The composition is pleasing too.

Hi Andy,

Not sure why this has had so many views and only one reply

I agree with Matt, very nice, like everything about it.

Rob

Hi Rob - me neither but well, that's life

Good job I'm not paranoid.....

Well at least you and Matt like it so thanks for the feedback

Hi Andy

I keep saying I will take a few shots like this every year and never get around to it - very nice!

David

Andy, lovely textures and think the serrated edges of the leaves look great and keep taking your eye round the image. Have also noticed the view:comment ratio on the forum seems to be heading down recently.

Thanks for the top-tip - it helped today when I tried some leaf shots myself (and thanks for giving me the idea that made a wet morning trip out fruitful!)

Hi Andy nice formation of autumn leaves.

Hi Andy,

I think this is very nice indeed. Well processed and nicely presented too.
Great to see the larger version.
