Birch leaves in negative space

Caught this in the back garden, such wonderful early morning light!

[Susan Wakely]

Very effective use of negative space with the light catching the leaves nicely.

It feels strange to say morning light and get a space so dark...

[Ellen Bogenschutz]

@wakelys Thank you so much! I'm trying to "artsy up" my photography. I like the reaction I got from you :)

[Ellen Bogenschutz]

@monikozi Yeah, it's almost like theater lighting? focus on one thing to high light it....
