Reminds me of a woodland scene from some 40's romance movie. |

Bit too dark for me. Almost looks like someone sitting down and pointing on the right side. Interesting use of light and dark. |

It's a very interesting image to enter in a 'hidden gem' challenge, because you must know that it will be more or less instantly dismissed by nearly everyone. And yet it is one of the very small minority of photographs that actually is a hidden gem. It depicts a hidden gem. A splash of sunlight illuminates these leaves and in doing so also highlights the functional beauty of the forms. Tones, textures and shapes, arrayed here as the notes of a musical phrase on the staff. Considered like that, it's surprisingly lovely, and indeed a hidden gem. 9. |

Good use of lighting to highlight the subject. |

I would recommend you zoom in more and crop tighter |

Not sure the subject really holds my interest. |

Love the use of a "selenium" toning. nicely done |

Pretty sunlight on the leaves but I find the photo a bit too dark. |

Wonderful light in the dark forest |
|

Love how the backlighting brings out the details in the leaves. |
|
|
03/14/2009 08:08:28 PM |
Yes. I would like to see these. That spot of light is nice. |

I think color would be helpful if even a hint |
|
|

I'm not sure the dark background strengthens this photo. |
|
|
03/13/2009 04:57:17 PM |
interesting spot light on the leaves, but too much dark space around without recognizable detail |
|
|
03/13/2009 02:07:19 PM |
Very different looking at leaves in b&w yet very successful too :) |
|

unfolding black
the deep dark night
yearning are the leaves
for light
reaching for
what lingers still
hints of sunshine
stay until
the curtain
draws it to a close
quiet moments
I suppose
would be their tale
of how it was
in the woods
when nighttime falls
This is lovely. It inspired me to write a quick poem. :~) |

Your lighting really does make the leaves stand out from the rest. |

Interesting abstract and tones. Good lighting on the leaves. |
|
|
03/11/2009 10:57:56 PM |
Not good in B/W for me... |
|
|
03/11/2009 09:52:48 PM |
Nice tones in the leaves. I would have tried a little tighter crop. But that just might be me.... |

I like your choice of black and white in this shot, and the lighting is really good. |

wonderful little bit of lighting there! |
|
|
03/11/2009 04:39:27 PM |
wonderful and magical...with a touch more cropping you could have an excellent note card to publish...love the rich tones and shades between the sun and shadow... |
|
|
03/11/2009 01:34:10 PM |
Subtle provocative image, perhaps I would have cropped a bit closer on both sides. |

I like the light play on them |
|
|
03/11/2009 04:07:02 AM |
maybe not the best for a B&W |
|
