I found this leaf taking a birthday walk on Hanalei Beach with a friend and shot it without looking at the settings and thus got a very shallow DOF shooting at f:2. I was caught by the light and shadows and the textures. Being on the beach means you don't get many chances for the shot because seconds later the leaf was half buried in sand.
I know it might have been better to do a macro of my Midnight Chocolate B-Day Cake but it didn't last long enough to get a macro.
Happy Birthday - a bit late but better than never :)
This is fantastic for a lot of reason: the warm light, the sharpness of the leaf surrounded by a pleasant blur. Sometimes, shooting without looking does work better. Creativity, as life, just happens!
Hey, fanstic capture on your birthday. This is really pleasing to the eye and it makes me slightly jealous thinking of you wandering the beach while I was out this morning hiking in the snow to get a fence shot :P
