**** Dunno if I posted this in the proper Forum? ****

Ok I dug this out of the archives and reworked it 2 ways.

Normal full color and Selective.
(Cloned/Healed the stem out of the 2nd one)
Which one do you think works best? :dunno

    Hi there, you have posted these before and actually this might even be the third time you've posted the leaf with the grey background. ..... Skippy

    Hehehe sorry Skippy not this time.
    This was a fresh un-PP'd pic from my archives.
    Your thinking of a similar pic with 1 colored leaf.
    Nice try tho! thumb.gif:D

    I thought the same thing as Skippy.
    I guess an oversaturated pp shot of leaves look like one in the same to me..

    My turn!

    Which is 'better', the full colour or selective?

    Any comments welcome! The image was taken on the return trip in the harbour, not s solid platform, so please excuse the camera shake!

    I hafta say the full color one. thumb.gif

    The selective.....well....don't have that GOTCHYA factor that the color one conveys IMHO.

    Just my 2 cents.rolleyes1.gif

    Thanks Graphy.

    I know what you are saying, I guess I've looked at the colour one for too long now and wanted to see something different!

    Thanks for the comment.

    I like the second one...I took one very similar to yours back in September.

    P.S. Thanks for the information - as the old saying goes..."the check is in the mail"...I am very excited.
