Excellent, Albert. Looks like one of Ingrid's beautiful artisitc images. Nice job with the 50 1.8, and using the main elm leaf as the pof and then filling the entire frame with the oof backlit leaves and highlights.  Great result.  devil

The light, the light... it's all about the light!laugh

Dreamy feel similar to some of Ingrid's work as Scott says..

You could always call it "The Light Fantastic" as an alternate title?blush

Very nice Albert!devil

This is a great, mystical look at this leaf, Albert.  The bokeh from the background highlights creates a fine sense of dancing.  I'm sitting here tilting my head trying to see how a rotated version would look...sad

Very creative, Albert !  Love all the dazzling highlights, while the composition is excellent for bringing the main leaves to the fore.  Really appealing mood of mystery almost. devil
