Swamp Leaves

[Mike Moats]

Found this just as you see it, the little willow leaf was positioned right under the crack in the cottonwood leaf. The silver in the top right is some swamp oil reflecting the clouds

Hats off Boss !
Loved those colours, contrast & details. Just a personal taste - how about wee bit of room on top (jussssst a little bit)...

[Gus Cobos]

Excellent as always Mike.
I like the contrasting colors, and the black dreamy water. I like the feel and mood conveyed here...congrats...:cool:

I always love the way the swamp oil shows off the tension of the water. This is really lovely, Mike.

[Ed Vatza]

Looks great, Mike. Please send swamp oil! :D

Very nice composition. The colors look great. And love the way the leaves play off the background. As I said before, I am finding myself liking these images more and more.

Very creative Mike, love the colours, the silver look to the swamp looks superb and nice composition.

I don't know how you find these picturesque subjects over and over and over, Mike!! Yes, send swamp oil!! LOL! The comp and colors and textures are all great, as always. I love how the willow leaf's stem & shadow point the way out of the frame and make me wonder what other treasures are to be found out there.

Swamp oil.... I'm a Florida native, and we have swamps all over the place - never heard of that. Could it be the new alternative fuel??? :D

Great image. I found myself pouring over your explanation for all the details.

Thanks for showing us how it's done!!!
