Hi Tuna,

I really like your foliage shots. This has nice patterns and textures, which I'm a big fan of. But this one, unlike the others, lacks the tonal range (may be my monitor) and an obvious subject. This seems like one that would be good as part of a series, if that's what you're planning, but may need a more obvious subject, like a contrasting leaf or flower, to stand alone. All of this is my opinion of course. It is a very impressive image over all. Do you use any filters for these foliage shots?

I love this one! Reminds me of ink drawings. I forget what the actual name is, but I was recently at a home built by someone who studied with Frank Lloyd Wright, and this is the kind of feel I got from it. Imagine it matted with stark white paper, and framed with a thin black frame.


Great work!

I love this shot and think the high contrast works very well. I wish I could see a large print of it.

Great shot, very striking use of the extremes of black and white - love it!

Nice shot Fish dude!

I have to agree with Addie on the look of a drawing. It resembles a very careful study. Are they Hostas?

As always, great work! Did you use a red filter?

Beautiful texture/pattern shot. Love the contrast and the domination of dark tones!

I would not mind having this on my walls!

Cheers,

Steph.

PS: The edges seem to be a bit soft, but that's probbaly due to JPEG conversion.
