Mixed Bag

A few recent ones from me.

I am just loving the yellow on yellow in that first shot! Its something that I would probably walk right past without a second glance but you've not only managed to make an ordinary subject look extraordinary but to make me kick myself for not noticing stuff like that when I'm out and about.. *sigh*..

Oh and I also like the other two.. specially the contrasts in the second..

[Wink]

The 2nd shot is my favourite.
The detail in the leaf is great!

I agree with Sue. The first is a good example of the mundane becoming more interesting because of your composition and color scheme.

The second has very nice BW contrast but is awkward compositionally... I am not sure how to improve but just feels "not right". Hmm...maybe a crop to include only part of the leaf?

[Matt. K]

Image #2 is a fine art print....providing you have not cropped a tiny part of an image, IE, it has enough pixels to make a large print. Masterful.

[Geoff M]

Thankyou all.

Matt - no crop on the B&W full image presented here, just done some cloning to remove a stray blade of grass and a 'growth' on the underside of the leaf itself, and of course the obvious conversion.

[ozimax]

Yes, have to agree here Geoff, the second is striking, must be the sheer simplicity of the image. Less is usually more I suppose and you have done exceptionally well here.

wow, i love the detail in the leaf, well done, although i would have loved a bit more focus on the lower end but then again, i can't say i could do any better, or even as good as that!! lol well done!!
