Skunk Leaves I

Gallery: FloraPosted February 17, 2012522 views6 comments
An image from last spring when I stumbled upon the largest expanse of skunk cabbage I've seen but for some reason most of the yellow blooms were deteriorated so leaves and more leaves.
I've got several various shots of these I want to rework and post.
Exploring some new monitor calibration targets. Over-saturated?
Thanks for looking

I think it looks great! What a nice intimate of some great foliage. Composition is great and the water drops are a huge plus! I just did a scroll crop to remove some from the top (just a little past the first vein on the URHC), it made the image roughly 5:7 and I think that makes it a little more balanced. Just a thought!

Looks good to me! Nice detail in the leaves and the water drops. The green is spot on beautiful.

In my monitor, green looks just perfect. Loved the composition and i guess, water drops adds some feel. I also like the diagonal line ...Overall, this works.

Bruce: Pristine subjects and a great result. The drops are fine icing on a terrific cake. On my monitor the saturation is just right.>=))>
