I love just the touch of the light on the leaf here
Rod 10-Jan-2007 08:21
Thanks both:-)

Works better for me too Rod- nice work.

I like this lighter version better. Rich

Thanks Rich, Jano, Brent, Neo & Rk:-) Here's a lighter version with more contrast & curves adjustment with the top leaf cloned out.

Excellent conrtol of light...but, seems to lack a focal point. - RK

Now were getting somewhere. I like this one as is but I wouldn't mind looking at some alternate versions.
Brent 09-Jan-2007 00:24
Very nice Rod. I think Jano had some good ideas should you want to experiment with it more. If so, my eye would also like that one top leaf poking out of the top of the frame tucked in. Good work Mate!
Rich 08-Jan-2007 23:23
Well done Rod, on topic for sure.

Thanks Jano:-) good points I think I'm thinking too dark:-)

I would love to see some more of the purplish color and a trickle more highlights on the leaves just to pick this one up a notch, Rod, although I like it as it is done as it clearly shows the patterns and leaves quite nicely. jano

Thanks Carole:-) This was taken early in the morning about 6am while having me first cuppa & I saw how dark it looked inside the plant. The sun was just starting to peek over next doors fence, I used the tripod & took an exposure reading in AV mode well away from the pond where it was brighter light. I then set the camera on manual with those settings which exposed the few highlights well & most everything else was darkish. I really like this shot too.

This does look more like a night shot. Pretty steady hands or did you use a tripod? I like this one the best Rod - nice leaves and the little bits of light and reflection add interest. CJ
