Almost ... You pushed the values of the surroundings down just a little too far and missed a certain glow that the color version has on the leaf and droplets itself. You could work this better if you want to keep at it. With the right treatment, I think it will be a stunning BW photo.

Re: PESO: A Single Leaf

Hi Marnie Thanks for looking. Yes, you're right. My photography has undoubtedly improved since I've been on the list. However, my engineering background makes me want to see regular shapes and straight lines. It's taking me a while to let my imagination run free... :-) Cheers Brian

Hi Dave Quoting David Savage [EMAIL PROTECTED]: I like it, a lot. It brought to my minds nose, :-), the smell of the bush after rain. I love that smell. Me too - don't smell it very much these days, though :-( Thanks for looking. Cheers Brian ++

RE: PESO: A Single Leaf

Hi Tom (and Ken) Thanks for the comment. The background is a bit more dominant than I'd like but that's what I had to work with, and moving the leaf would have caused the water drops to be lost. I might try rotating the image a bit to see if the composition benefits. Cheers Brian

Hi all This is undoubtedly clichéd but I quite like it. It almost never happened. My wife had to point out the photographic possibilities several times before I noticed. I'm hopeless and seeing potential images http://www.blognow.com.au/PESO/74336/A_Single_Leaf.html Cheers Brian

Well, Brian, your wife has a good eye. The water droplets and the dry looking surroundings of the leaf work together really well. You both did a great job! Boris Brian Walters wrote: Hi all This is undoubtedly clichéd but I quite like it. It almost never happened. My wife had to point
