The Leaf is beautiful, the simplicity outstanding. I do want more with the top of the frame, but I don't know what...sharper? darker? more tones? I don't know. but an excellent shot none the less. congratulations


don blasingame   {K:2202} 8/24/2006
Looked at your portfolio and see that you have great control of your images. I could learn from you.


Andre Denis   {K:56377} 8/24/2006
Congratulations Toshi!!!
That editor's choice award is a really powerful one to get here on Usefilm. Well deserved for a typical "Toshi" image. You have developed a style that people recognize as yours. This delicate shot is a typical example of your work and an excellent choice for the award!
Keep it up!
Andre

Thanks Andre! It really is an honor to receive the EC award, especially among all the other excellent photos/photographers on UF. I'm glad I've developed somewhat of a style to most of my photos to try and stand out. Thanks again and thanks for the continued support!

Sam Graziano III   {K:14064} 8/24/2006
Toshi, Congrats on the EC award.

What I Love about the shot is the selective coloring. That to me is what makes this shot stand out from the crowd. You have an awesome eye for placement and composition. All of your skills wrapped up to form a very unique style. I know I could pick out your shots from 1000 of shots even if there were no names on them.

My friend, Just when I think you have posted the top notched Toshi shot, you go and one up yourself. Way to go.
My best Regards

Sam Graziano III

simple efective shot. Good. Work with local desaturation need sensitive feel, because sometimes is outcome no good. And here I have good feel. Just good work.
