An amazing photo. The placement of the leaf in diagonal position accentuates its dynamism while opting for B&W is the best option since the contrast between the leaf and the darker color of water is very pronounced.


parvin dabas   {K:2652} 5/12/2005
very artisitic


Roland Lacson   {K:12214} 5/12/2005
I really like this photo Steve & I pretty much echo Zain's comment. This should be an editor's choice, well done.


SarahM none   {K:7836} 5/12/2005
Fabulous! Can't think of anything else to say other than any additional information on how you took this would be very useful. Did you use a tripod? F-stop? Did you take it in B&W or convert it later? If you converted it, did you use Photoshop and Channels? Simply super!!


Steven H   {K:7142} 5/12/2005
Thanks Sarah . . . no tripod . . . taken in color and converted . . . lots of PS work to eliminate distractions from the water's surface . . . a bit of PS on contrast and brightness . . . to get it balanced . . .


Alan Orr   {K:9671} 5/12/2005
Very beautiful, artistic photo.

Girish Chonkar   {K:7043} 5/12/2005
Wonderful innovative catch. Is it in natural location or studio shot?


Steven H   {K:7142} 5/12/2005
Thanks Girish, this is a natural, not studio, setting . . . a copper tub, a leaf floating . . .


Marusnik Bela   {K:11611} 5/12/2005
Unique, sensational work with draw of surface power.Excellent!Congrats!


Ayşe Sanem Çolak   {K:4516} 5/13/2005
excellent macro! like very much clearness and lines around the leaf.


Steven H   {K:7142} 5/13/2005
Thanks for your comment Ayse, the lines of light and shadow are what I like most about this image too . . .


Dina Marie   {K:-1006} 5/14/2005
This is an award winning shot steven. The rich tones vary and your timing was spectacular. It is clear to me that you are a true artist with an excellent vision. Thank you for sharing this one. Nice to see you back....


Abel Minnée   {K:3769} 5/15/2005
wow... this is nice..
the detail in the leaf is perfect but whats happening with the water? this black stroke on the right doesnt seam natural...

although a stunning result!


Steven H   {K:7142} 5/15/2005
Thanks Abel, the black lines are shadows from a wooden veranda above the water, and are captured here just as they appear to the eye at the chosen angle . . . the surface tension of the water bends the light and shadow into the curved forms.


arwa abdullah   {K:34425} 5/15/2005
