Red Leaf

Comment by umbris:
Nice colors and composition, but a bit oversharpened. This is apparent in the halos around the leaves in the foreground.

Thanks for all the comments... I really liked this shot. I just came around the corner of the house, and saw these two old sisters leaning out the window gabbing with a cowboy. I started taking some pictures. She got mad at me, then I appeased her by promising a copy of the photo to her.

About the ear & red hat... I could have photoshopped it out, but then this is candid. So, I left it in. Also, the same with the rest of her hat, it was hidden by the window frame. I cropped out the window frame, because it was a big distraction (IMO).

Thanks again for the comments.

Thanks for all the comments... for some reason, I had a hard time keeping the hand & the picture of the moon in focus. I took a variety of shots at various exposures & f stops and the hand was usually blurry. If fact, that is one reason I changed it to B&W, because the color looked really odd. I think that is one reason it did not do better. It was definitely a fun photo, something different for me.

A great dream and certainly a nice image to illustrate the poetic desire. Bumping up again.

Creative and good lighting and focus. I'm guessing a print out of the moon on black paper keeping both hand and moon in focus???. Any way its a good shot, bump to 7.

VERY neat image! Unique idea! I wish the hand were a little less grainy, but I suppose that is technically very difficult with the different depths of focus!
