Graceful abstract. The advantage of this very textured leaf, it's soft color and the sort of whip at the top work very well. Very well casted background. Framed with elegance.
Love this one for its very fine structure, its very matching subtle colors and the concentrated composition, with the curved end providing extra emphasis. Technically perfect as well.
One of my two favorites - I adore the detail, the simple whiteness, the curve of the edge, perfect against the soft green (great use of DOF)Nice composition with the line coming down into the corner, leaninding up into the curl at the top. Wonderful. 10
Beautiful and graceful leaf. I like the composition with the curve of the leaf placed in one third and most of the leaf in the other corner. I like the depth of the viens on the leaf.
Beautifully done, the low DOF on the background really allows one to concentrate on the warmth of the greens and see their variety without being distracted by harsh shapes. The leaf itself is beautiful (I assume it's one of those artificial ones sold by decoration stores?) and the composition of the overall image works very well with the diagonal of the stem pushing out from one of the corners.
