Hi Kostas,
I like the capture and the projected mysterious mood rendered by the your leaves. I took the liberty of making a few enhancement to your image without altering the feel...I cropped from all the sides of the frame, adjusted the black point, gave you a slight saturation and mild contrast boost to bring out the beauty and detailed texture of your main leaf and surrounding ones. I sprinkled a little sharpening on the veins of the main subject, and presto...the final product...:D See if this looks best to you...:cool:

nice ootb image.....prefer dark allure of the original.
Left side is a bit sparce and a crop may be in order....fractalius on the bg is a nice touch

ok . the thing that i like in photography , is the eye of any one , and how can see the images (one thing could be best for me maybe for some other person is trash ), i do have this plant in my balcony , like the most i have post here latly , and i know pretty well how is the look of it . the first image , its the natural plant , thats the way looks , its the natural color of it , and in the main leaf is the natural day light , as it was a rainy day , for me i prefere the first one , the reply of Gus looks better in color, that for sure , but to me looks a little bit like a plastik . many times the Question is , should photography presents only the reallity ? .. i think not thats only my opinion ..

Thank u Gus for the replys and the repost, i like it here , i like the ppl are here , i like the forum , a lot better than other one i was .The ppl there attack to me , coz i made a thread when i took this camera (canon eos 50d ) coz i was think maybe i should buy a full frame camera , and i did ask for this .. there was opinios like ( what do u want that camera for ?-met me and give it to me and buy a new one )..
I like to be here
Kostas .


P.S. i will say it again once as u see my english are not so good here , im sorry about this ...

Hi Kostas

Which version? ... depends on mood !!! One suggestion ... could turn the camera so the leaf would not be up/down in frame !!! Also fine PS processing !!!

Camera wise if you are doing more wide angle and don't need the reach, the full frame would be the way to go !!

[Harold Davis]

you have a very creative mind, kostas!! agree with the crop off the left. the bg is really cool!! i like the treatment.

[kostas nianiopoulos]
