Change of Seasons REPOST

Ah, back to the glass.

This is an indoor set up of Oak leaves. The brown leaves are under the glass; the two pin oak leaves are above.

The stack was only two images; just enough to make sure I had captured the detail of the top Pin Oak leaves. Shot at f/8, 90mm, ISO 200, .3s, spot meter. I could possibly have brightened this scene but I wanted to capture the essence of the mystery of the changing seasons.

Because I shot the subject as a stacked image, there was already good separation between the subject and the background and it was relatively easy to make a leaf mask and use that to create this--a Photo Art image I called Flying Leaves. I like both images equally well, but for different reasons.

Thanks for looking and leaving your comments, critiques, and suggestions.

And may all of you have a wonderful Thursday whether you actually celebrate T-Day or not.
