Prompt 7 - Reflection

Returning to the Emma Davies 30-day composition challenge...This one is way better on black if you have the time.

Also, I used a fairly shallow DoF; do you think it would have been better with more in focus? And I should have realized that straight edge where the leaf had broken...think I need to try this again, but too late tonight to have another go. Sweet dreams all.

A like it. In black background the shallow dof is better.

[Lena Nau]

Beautiful golden colour, shapes and details, wonderful light that makes the leaf's grain (do you say so?) stand out. Fab on black. Fav

[gloria jones]

Excellent low-key image, composition

[JackieR]

I'm going to HAVE to fav this for its colour, its focus, its simplicity and the sill it took to take.

[Helen Jane]

I sharp focus would have drawn more attention to the torn leaf perhaps. I like it just as it is too.

Very striking/eyecatching shot

This is stunning as it is - no need to redo it at all!
The tones and textures are super and the whole image striking.
A FAV!

[Chris]

This is really nice and lovely lighting.

[Rob Z]

It is lovely with its subtle reflection. I hadn't noticed the cut edge until you mentioned it - but now it is a little annoying. LOL Would it work if you just cropped it off at that point?

[summerfield]

aces on this!
