Glow from Within

by Wayne Rhodus

Gallery: FloraPosted November 9, 201073 views14 comments
Here's a sycamore leaf that caught my eye with a glow that seems to originate from within. Uninspired by the fall scenery around me that morning I was fortunate to find some small treasures of the season that are so often overlooked.

5D, 70 - 200 @ 138, 1/45 @ f4, ISO 500, polarizer, crop to square

Really cool - love the glow and the BG that sets it off so well.

Nicely seen and captured Wayne. The BG really makes leaf pop.

Another nice leaf photo... You might want to play with increasing the black saturation in ACR or levels to seperate the leaf a little more

I really like this, Wayne. The leaf does glow. It almost looks as if it's etched in copper. Simply beautiful. :toast:

The tonality of the color is splendid and the background is very apt.
Cheers.

Wayne:
Excellent glow from the leaf. I am also very taken by the dark BG; looks like marble?
