greetings from the CC, this shot certainly has a artsy feel, would like to see it in B &W , it also reminds my of munsch's SCREAM. I like the backlighting and use of diagonal composition of the leaf, also has nice textures and details, lots of elements to hold interest. well done, my biggest criticism is I find the color of the leaf distracting from the rest of the image. I think in BW it would be more serious and eerie withstronger impact.
Congratulations on your best picture so far. I'm a bit disappointed, though, because the face wasn't really on the leaf. But hey, photography is about illusion just as well as recreating reality. It is a great picture.
Whoa. Awesome face. What's projecting the silhouette? The dark background really emphasizes the leaf and its face. It also adds to the feeling of anger or possibly even evil in the photo.
This is truly awesome and my favorite of the bunch. I have a nagging feeling it may be a bit outside the editing rules but did not request a DQ. I hope it stays in! Good seeing, perfect exposure and presentation.
