oh this is gorgeous. love the darkness of the background. the details of the leave and the water droplets are beautiful. a great capture of the peacefulness of nature.
So simple and understated but with such minute detail. The background (what is it!?) is very interesting with all of it's texture and tone. Very nice series!
this is very elegant. i love the focus and clarity on the leaf. the tones are great and the water drops are the finishing touch in this composition. very nice.
Looks like a little boat floating on an India ink sea. Exquisite detail. I love the rich black - what were your lighting conditions? What IS the background?
i've looked at all the images in your photographers comments and altho i really like the one with the four leaves i think i understand why you chose this one ... the focus is very sharp on those droplets and there's some amazing patterns going on in the water and leaf ... i'm personally not that keen on the composition, but to crop this you'd lose all those excellent patterns ... :)
Just an unbelievably good conversion choice here. It gives an impression of this beautiful source of cleanliness and nature, floating in a sea of oil and industry.
I like the shine of the leaf and droplets, and also of the water where it isn't indented. I agree with Karen, I'm not very fond of the centred composition(s).
