I'm a fan of mixed lighting scenarios like this that highlight the subject well but leave subtle shabum shabum to play with on the side, its good n relaxed, the light on the right leaf is a lil too directional/harsh/shiny/you know what i mean for my tastes, and a warm toned background scene of some kind (context) could give it a lil more atmosphere, but - melikes
Hi Phillip. This is an excellent picture and I wish I had taken it.
I am an avid fan of pictures that say everything simply. I don't share TKs concern over the lighting here. My concern is probably far more pendantic than his in that the two angled and indented lines on the leaf on the left really draw my eye.
My liberty is the Photoshopped version uploaded with this comment. I hope you don't mind too much. 8>
