Lost, cold and alone but for a sea of leaves (*)

Stowe Gardens, UK

Took this on a trip to Stowe Gardens, near us here in the UK. I really like photographs of shadows but still working on how best to capture them. I saw this and thought it might work.

Hi Neil, Thanks for the comment. You mean left 'natural' ? It was tempting, but I put it to black and white as I thought the effect was better. But then it looked 'flat' in black and white and I thought the blue added a coldness to it. Hehe re: nectarines - you weren't the only one !!

I like your very small head and big legs. I'm sure you like the effect of the colour and texture of the leaves - I wonder how it would look with more natural looking leaves (like Jim B's ....leaves to rake pic), but I am the uncreative one who prefers colourful nectarines.

Many thanks for comments chaps. I found this challenge tougher than the others and haven't had as much time as before. Iso: ROFL... my head isn't that small either!!!

Very dramatic and creepy! Composition and colors work well together.

You're a lot taller than I imagined ;-) I like the choice of toning here.
