I always love these photos, but you've done a particularly great job of making it look so realistic. Excellent shot.

Leaving It All Behind

Love this shot! The lines are so dramatic that I think the transparent matte actually detracts a bit. You might want to try just a plain solid matte, or, if you want to extend the image into the matte, maybe you could make it black and then overlay just the veins of the leaf without any of the green, or some variant of that idea. Regardless, beautiful image - congrats!

Beautiful shot! We have a couple of tea whisks at home (which is the only reason I recognize this shape) and now I'm going to spend the rest of the day trying to take a picture as good as this one. I won't succeed, but thanks for the idea. :-)

Great shot! Wish I had a 20-foot-tall cow in my yard. Okay, maybe not. ;-)

Excellent photo idea. That frame is a bit much, but this is a fun trick. Wish I had thought of it. :-)

Serendipity after rain

Absolutely beautiful photo. I think the gold matte takes attention away from the subject. You might want to go with just simple white and black. But that has nothing to do with the initial picture, which is extremely well done. Nice job!
