 I got this leaf off the japanese maple in my yard that still had some leaves left. I had a different idea for it but changed my mind whenI saw it laying on the countertop. At a certain angle it looked like it was floating. Last night I came across the "sloppy" border discussion and had to try that as well.

I like the minimalistic feeling this shot has.

What a great capture. It looks as if the leaf is floating on water. I love the reflection created and the varying tones of brown that surround the leaf. Neat border.

delicate and simple. I prefer no border.

It's a good thing you tried the border. Along with the really sharp reflection, it gives the feeling the leaf is posed on top of ice. An all around wonderful job IMO.

That looks very neat! It does almost look like it's floating, or that it's laying on ice. I like the border too, goes well with the image.

Now you've got me thinking I should try this on my glass kitchen table!

This is really sublime!

I like the border, though borders in general seem to bring out the rabid tendencies in the people I like to call the "Border Police". LOL!!!

This photo just sings. It looks like it's floating on air, then in a river, or perhaps someplace in between. Great job capturing movement that never existed. Not found of the sloppy border, at least for this picture.

Beautiful. AND I think the border is great. Note to self ... find that sloppy border discussion and mark it.

I really like how the reflection is more detailed than the actual subject. The watery feel of the photo contrast well with the shape edges of the leaf.

this is brilliant .. a beautiful image .. very peaceful and tranquil .. love the tones .. personally tho i'm not that keen on the border .. to me the sharpness doesnt quite fit with the subdued image .. and of course that's just my opinion ..
i'v just had another look because i dont like to say anything negative and i'm liking the way it sort'v breaks up, which fits perfectly with the water look .. so i've changed my mind ... excellent border .. !!!!!!! .. lol .. :)

Well it all works, and how! I absolutely love the rippled counter top and the lighting. I saw that border thread but didn't read it. I'm going to now. In fact, into my favorites.

Great composition! I am glade that you experimented with the "sloppy" border. I like it!

Lovely, very simple and zen-like.

I very much like the composition. The color of my Japanese Maple leaves were a brighter red than this one this year. This one seems a bit too "dark" for me.

excellent border and composition.
Love the color or rather the lack of it.
