SUNNY EFFECTS

Shot posted completely sooc.
On our way to The Point the Sunday before last I saw this banana tree in a large pot decorating the entrance to a seaside lido. I liked how the sun shone on the golden leaf.
Thank you very much for looking and for your lovely comments on yesterday’s picture.

[Rick Schies]

Boy we could use some of that sunshine around here

[Claire]

That light is something else isn't it, beautiful

[richard saffold]

the leaf looks like a crown of sorts.

Very pretty contrast of the organic greens to the grey stone buildings. Here is an article in last week's New York Times all about the history of Malta that I thought you would enjoy. I hope you can access it: http://www.nytimes.com/2013/12/08/travel/beneath-maltas-beauty-a-tangled-history.html?_r=0

Beautiful -- you made the contrast work well, using the natural lighting very effectively.

Great view on that beautiful building and a great capture of it with that beautiful banana tree in front

[Ivan]

Love the way the leaf stands out against the buildings, super DoF/selective focus.

[Alison Hewitt Bailey]

Beautiful light and dof. The colours of the leaves look lovely against the greys of the buildings.

[Paula W]

The leaf really does stand out against the buildings Dione, a lovely shot.

The leaf looks like a sunshine drawing! At first I thought this was a sculpture of a logo. Great spotting and capture :)

[Angie]

It looks so tropical! But of course it is not. It is delightfully Mediterranean!
