Haven't posted in quite awhile. Time to start up again. :smile:

I found these cool looking leaves at the Fredrick Meijer Gardens in Grand Rapids.

Nikon D300 w/105mm Micro Nikkor
1/30sec. f/5.6 ISO 800
Hand held with Fill flash.

Thanks for looking.

This is an interesting abstract. I like the pattern the leaves create and I like your composition. The colors are nice with the vibrant green and the black stem. My only nit is the bright spots on the leaves on the right side - I would tone them down a bit IMHO. That is small nit. This is a cool image. Nice job!

I think the LP looks fantastic Joel, very nicely composed.
Love those black stems, they pull it all together..
Excellent :toast:

Hey Joel, love the subject and the comp. When I head to GR this fall for my Macro Boot Camp I will probably head over to the FM Gardens to shoot. I'll be in the area in July for the SWMCCC but it will probably be to crowded at that time of year with tourists.

Very nice pattern and color, with a hefty slice of sharpness added for good measure!
