Comment by MaryO:
Nice composition and I do like the light, though it is reflecting in a few odd places on the backdrop. I woud have tried a non-reflective cloth backdrop for the background, and either continued it on the surface under your models or had something that was a color match so there wouldn't be a line across the back there. Big nit: the glass with the blue jello is really dirty.

Comment by SaraR:
I like this - the two leaves intimately connected, banding together in the face of the wide open world. I do though, feel that the water surface seems a little flat (yes, I know water surfaces generally are flat...), sort of like there is just a very thin film of water on a smooth black surface - hard to articulate, perhaps I should leave it as something doesn't quite connect with me in regards to the water surface. Ah, now then, I have just tilted my (work) screen towards me and see that there is more detail there than I thought... much better!

edit: Just seen this is yours Deb. I really, really like the outtake!

Leaf 6807

Comment by SaraR:
Oh, this one is my favourite - I love the way the leaf is curling up and in on itself, as though to cocoon and shelter itself from the rain. The subtle pattern of the light and the raindrop splashes is perfect!

First espresso of the day

Comment by h2:
composition is very good and so is exposure and lighting. If only the cup had been full, with a nice creamy swirl or at least some bubbles... could have been a top scorer.

Whoah. I think that's the biggest differential I've seen between avg. vote and vote from commenters. I think I'd like this better if it were cropped to cut the white cup in half, emphasizing the nice curves on the cup and plate.

Very pretty, Deb. I like the detail of the lake bottom up top and the color in the leaves.
