Veins

[Kaushik Balakumar]

Made during '07 autumn, near a lake in Bochum - Germany. The patterns in the leaves become even more evident when they dry out slowly exposing the veins.



Nikon D70s + Nikkor 105mm VR micro.
f8, 1/250, ISO200, Hand held, No flash used.

C & C welcome...

Hey Kaushik, I love the light, it looks like it's backlit. Great details and colors. I would try the burn tool at about 5% on the dark edges of the viens, which would really make the lines pop. Very well done!!

Kaushik,

When I look at your image I think of a work of stained glass, maybe its the backlighting and the leaf veins?

@ Robert: Yes, its a leaf with back-lighting by natural sunlight :)

@Mike: Will try this out for sure Mike. Sent u a PM...

Hey Kaushik, just a slight burn under the three main viens make the lines a little stonger and adds some more depth.

Hi
A sweet looking image with plenty of eye impact
Being highly critical I think there is a bit of DOF fall off towards the bottom of the frame, but this is a minor aspect to my eyes because the lighting and appealing composition makes the image
Great stuff
