You did a great job on this photo it has a simple yet elegant feel to it. The noise adds allot to the photo giving it even more character. One thing I think would have helped allot would be a little different lighting to add depth to the photo it looks flat without it. You really did a great Job on the D-Sat I love the white, grays, and black in it. It does appear to be over sharpened. But overall a great photo.
One more quick note I don't know how you do your borders but this one isn't even all the way around. The white border on the left looks a little thinner then the rest.
Here is a good tutorial on the subject that makes it real easy to get a perfect border.
Let me know if you have any questions on my critique feel free to PM me.
Just perfect.....I really love the simplicity, the shape, the lines, the textures and the composition...... It is just so elegant and yes, it also has the "WOW" factor.....
I love the simplicity of this leaf. Good job in making sure that it didn't hit the corners ;) The lovely folds and the overall shades of greay and blacks and whites make this a beautiful piece of art.
