I don't blame you, I like the light, too. Nice shot.

Gorgeous background ... and leaf too, of course! :)

It has a lacey look with the light filtering through it.
Against a very nice background too!

This picture is fabulous. It tells you how to photograph in such a simple way. I love it!

Very delicate -- a leaf which got to do one last job (impressing you and us) before disappearing into the mist of time. (I can be so philosophical after a cup of coffee!)

Nice crisp light and focus.

YES! Even had the NEW windows open this afternoon. Dancing the Happy Dance! Literally.
Superb back light. And I love the twig winding thru the front and back of the leaf.

Sometimes when you're walking along and suddenly notice a shot like this, it's better than finding money, isn't it?
Guest 11-Mar-2006 03:52
Wow great light and detail

Really nice, CJ. I love the lighting, as well. The comp is pretty awesome, too.

I like this a lot Connie
Back light tends to be my favorite
