i found a few leaves yesterday and thought i'd try a bit of still life with it. not entirely convinced with the end result, may need something extra. i shot this on digital set to manual which gave me f3.6 or f8 as options! with these the times needed for exposure were to long for hand held shots, many had camera shake. anyway, what do you think?

oh, and this one converted to b&w and cyan tinted in variations.

I like these very much firestorm......they remind me of the work I did with baby tree sprouts. Well done I say!

I am, therefore I create.......

I like very much this kind of compos. I don't know if cyan fits well, perhaps better, IMHO, pure B&W. The #1 fantastic! If you have time, please, put the b&w version, I would like to see it to compare.

I would agree with enax.....I forgot to say tha I do like the natural color version very much...

I like the b&W version, now perhaps, more than the color version. Beautiful image, light and contrast and well framed :)

the b&w version is great! it's very pure, simple and the geometry is very pleasing to view. wonderful work firestorm
