I don't mean to confuse you, because I know that we want to start out lousy so that we can improve... but this is beautiful. I think it's a useful strategy to capture illusions with a photograph, since a photograph is itself an illusion. And those "stains" are themselves photographs. After all, photography is nothing more than a very sophisticated "stain" of light.
But the effect works both ways. Yes, the real leaf seems like an illusion, but that also makes the illusion-leaves seem more real, and then I even imagine the ground as some kind of sky in which they're falling. the lines in the concrete(?) seem like rain, or some sort of precipitation. Your "unprocessing" keeps everything soft and muted and enhances this shifting between illusion and reality. |
