This is a beautiful shot, full of color! The focus is a little soft due to some parts being underwater, but I think this is still frameable-hang-on-the-wall quality. Well done!

This is real cool

I just love how the water is a solid blue while the leaf is a beautiful color.

If you don't mind what were your settings and what lens were you using its really amazing

    Thank you very much for your flattering comments and six star rating! I used a Panasonic Lumix FZ1000 with a Leica 25-400mm lens, 1/4000, f/8, ISO 125 with a flash at 37mm. I don't recall the Kelvin, I would guess I set that somewhere around 5500 to 6200. Unfortunately the exif data doesn't record that!

Quite a nice and soothing nature shot posted here! Your almost full and central composition offers us an enjoyable look at the result of your interesting nature experiment. Sharpness and exposure are good. Nicely done!

Great idea. This is a beautiful picture of this leaf! The colors are just so pretty and you captured them perfectly! I like your idea of putting it on water and capturing it that way!
Thanks for sharing

A very attractive shot. I love the simplicity of this composition. The colors are great and the way the leaf is partially submerged adds a lot of interest.

What beautiful colours you spotted in this fallen leaf and a great idea to take it home and float it on water - makes a lovely image. Excellent lighting and focus showing great detail. Lovely composition. Suzanne

So wonderfully creative!. The lighting and angle are so good and enhance the floating 3D effect. Perfect framing. The colors are so interesting. I can see why you used it and the blue background is superb for contrast. Excellent and lovely I its simplicity.

Comment from cakemp55


Such a great minimalist work of photography art. The leaf is very unusual in its colours and looks like it is painted. It is lovely against the graded blue colouring of the water.
Wonderful light and great clarity. Well done!
