Brilliant interpretation as to what this competition is all about! Well done Marc. I will now forever be on the lookout for leaf skeletons!

Simply stunning close up work Mark. This is nearly perfect man. I am jealous. : )

Excellent, Marc!

I liked the first one very much, but I like this one even better From: Rust-lover AkA catman

Marc, I did not see the black background - but the contrasting textures really work well - the coarse, gritty texture of the iron and the graceful pure leaf really work well together. Really makes for a powerful shot.

Oh, and I saw the one on the solid background also. I think (for me anyway) this one is more on theme with the lovely textures of both rust and leaf. The other one was gorgeous too, maybe more so, but for theme this one is great.

I love it too! It looks like a beautiful piece of lace work. You're going to have some fun with it at home. I've never found anything like that before. I guess I will have to watch more carefully, ya never know what you might find!

Like this one too Marc, but the black one had a nice simplicity. This is two separate textures, Bruce

Guest		03-Apr-2007 20:42
Thanks guys. I updated the black background version with this one, shot on rust. Your call ?
