Macro of a leaf

You have broken the first two rules, post proud and don't knock your work. You are forgiven this time. You don't even need a description. It is obviously a frog admiring his leaf umbrella. The best of luck in the contest. Ray

This is rather nice. It is an interesting abstract picture. It is not as good as your usual, but the title and lines under the umbrella (or is it, over the umbrella) are rather intriguing.

    Thanks so much. It's actually a leaf! I do agree it's not my best. lol

    Welcome. It is still good, in that it is a leaf providing a covering or umbrella, which makes it even more creative.

    Thanks for your polite review. lol I wanted it to be vivid and stick out. I may have overdone it. lol
Comment from Celyn1


This is a great idea for a picture and the composition is excellent. However, it does not seem quite in focus to me - otherwise I would have given it six stars.

I actually quite like it because its different and would have been good for a green contest,my only thought is you are stretching the u factor a bit in this,can see why you called this one that though...Brian

    Thanks so much. Yah, I do agree with the U. I just have a very slim selection of actual U photographs, so I tried to be creative! lol

    your welcome and fair enough,nothing wrong with being creative
Comment from Shadow catcher


I think it's a pretty interesting photo. The veining on the leaf does definitely look like the ribs of an umbrella, and I like how the image is off center. the image seems to glow,which sets off the dark veins. Best wishes to you in this contest!

A good looking image posted here into the competition! Wonder where in the world you took that impressive composition. Textures, colours and tones are good. Nicely done!

It makes for an interesting abstract. I have seen similar compositions in the lobbies of resort hotels.

Great entry for the contest. Best of fortune in the voting.

Art and beauty is where you find it.

Personally I like the cascading shades of green/green yellow that you captured - not bad.

To be considered a 'Macro' a macro lens needs to be used. If you did use a Macro lens you lost all the detail and contrast that a macro lens provides through the application of mixed media.

If that was what you wanted to do and it got you an image you like, well that's cool and I can dig it... Bob

It looks like too much meddled with. Less contrast and a sharper image may have worked. But I like the idea behind this. Green is my fav colour!:)Good luck in the contest.
