Geometric idea..

Stumbled across this idea while walking this morning, this leaf stood out from the grass and the shape was well defined and I immediately thought 'geometry'

What do you think? It almost looks like its waving, so I thought for a title maybe 'a dying goodbye'

    It's not bad. I'd try for some more angles, possibly some different leaves.

    You bkew out the highlights a little bit but it's not that big of a deal here. I'd punch up the levels a little bit, and maybe the colors (check out the Selective color adjustment layer)

    Everywhere I turn I seem to be immediatly thinking....
    ahh haa....geometry..... I wonder why....

    nice picture but as stated you have blown out high lights...on the main subject....
    it IS a very nice picture but maybe not ''wow factor''
    I'm just trying to be honest with my opinion hope you don't mind....:D At least you are on to something...I still have nothing so far.

    good advice --but also look at your foreground the grass gives you a big blur on the right side of the leaf

    How about trying to get a macro shot of all the "veins" in the leaf? There should be plenty of geometric designs there to make a composition out of. :D

    And, no blown out highlights. mwink.gif
