leaves

NikonD300 lens 16-50 at 50mm f 4 1/100 iso400
I intended to approach the colors and textures of the leaves.
C&c accepted, of course.

Hi, Valerio, your processing on this looks good. I like the complementary colors and the lines in the leaves. I would probably crop a little from the top and a little from the right (which would eliminate the round spot up top without having to clone it away).

Nice idea, I too have reservations over the water droplet. The main criticism I have is that the image does not appear to be sharp and the depth of filed is limited. If you didn't use a tripod I think whenever possible I would.
I try to adopt an approach for macro work "unless there is a very good reason not to, then always use a tripod and ideally with cable or remote and mirror lock".

[Valerio Tarone]

Thank you both. Cheryl:made. Jonathan, I use a tripod quite always, however it could be, in this case I didn't.

I like the repost and find the general"design" quite appealing.
Good colours too of a subject we would probably walk past without bothering to stop or photograph it.

John,thank you for the comment. That's true:everywhere I go i try 'to see' textures or I imagine a composition, so some subjects aren't common!

Despite the lack of sharpness (maybe OOF?), the image design is quite exquisite, Valerio. Thanks for sharing this. It's quite inspiring.
