Leaves

My 12-year-old daughter and I were out on a photo safari around my apartment complex,
looking for something suitable for the PaD today. It was she who noticed the play of light
on these leaves in an otherwise dark corner off the beaten path. Sure enough, my A70 was
up for the challenge and produced this image, which is slightly cropped and lightly sharpened
but otherwise just as it came out of the camera.

Wow, looks like the daughter has a great eye for photography, I hope she has a camera of her own. :-) Beautiful capture Gary, and oh yeah "tag, your it" hehehehehe.

How did I miss this??
Love the backlight really showing off the viens, even down to the cellular level, outline if the leaf is not ovewhelming, crop (or comp??) is right on.

Do we have a father-daughter team to contend with now?? Would be fun! My kids run (away) when I say lets go for a walk!

Very nice Gary! I like the lighting thru the leaves very much! Has your daughter started taking photos yet? She has a very good eye!

Love how the light highlighted the veins.

Nice! Her eyes, your camera -- whatever works. Beautiful, luminous green. I love shots like this, and it's such an interestingly shaped leaf, too.
