I've always wanted to photograph a red maple leaf, but never knew how I could do it without making it cliche. I thought this idea was original enough...
The middle leaf is "floating" on a pencil held up with fun-tak. The flash was split into two with aluminum paper bent at a 90deg angle, with two large white cardboard pieces on either side.
More texture on the leaf would have made this photo really really great. also the leaves on the sides seem OOF, not sure if this was the intent. personally I would like more DOF and see the leaves all in focus
Clever idea. I think I would like this even better if all of the leaves had the same dof/focus. Did you have the center leaf on glass and the other below? The blur is a bit distracting. I love the concept, though!
Awesome idea, great colouring. I'm not sure what you did to make the background leaves seem farther away. I would have preferred if they were also in as sharp focus as the middle leaf, but its a great shot anyway.
Why are the maple leafs on the left and right blurry? Did you want the viwer to pay more attention to the center leaf? I think it would have been better if all of the leaves were in focus.
Cool, when I saw the thumbnail I was sure that you had just taken a shot of the flag but this is a very very neat idea and well executed. However having all the leaves on the sides also within the DOF would have nailed IMO.
