Fall Leaves IX

Gallery: FloraPosted October 7, 2012351 views12 comments
...IX ... fall is my favorite season.

Nikon D800e and Zeiss 100mm at F16 and 8 sec with polarizer, filtered window light.

My wife liked this one which she viewed from across the room. That is a good sign. ... esp when recent efforts did not receive her favor. The composition has elements borrowed form prior comps...acorns, ferns, bark ...and the leaves.

Ken - Another superb Autumn Frame. No suggestions, print big on a high quality paper and hang it on the wall :wavey:

I like this one from across the room too. And I like it up close and personal. Nicely done!

Excellent. You achieved a natural haphazard look which I'd guess you worked significantly achieving. Outstanding still life.

Ken, I also like how this feels and looks. Great composition to my eye as well as color balance. Something that catches the eye of someone else from across the room is a great indicator. I agree--print it large and hang it up. Well done.

Don't you just love when those spouses look over your shoulder at what you're doing? :rolleyes: Just kidding--I do appreciate the input as I'm sure you do too. :wink: This is a fantastic image for fall! Nice collection of fall elements displayed on a colorful leaf background. . .I like the curled ends of the fern frond. Good arrangement, colors, lighting, and processing. Very nice, Ken!
