Love the cool blue of the charcoal (hope it's charcoal), contrasting with the warm tones of the leaves. They look so real I feel like I can reach out and touch them.

[Mike Moats]

You're are correct Jackie, it's a charred log from a boy scouts campfire at the the local metro park.

[Jackie Schuknecht]

Very creative, has got that selenium look to it. Great colour and texture:)

[Julie Kenward]

Lovely image...that BG is one of your best I think. It's got an almost velvety texture to it.

[Mike Fuhr]

Very nice subject and composition. Love the background. What happened to the leaf stem on the baby? Was that intentional?

[Kaushik Balakumar]

Lovely contrast. Nice visualization. Neatly composed image as usual Mike !

[Mike Moats]

Hey Mike, the stem on the small leaf was not positioned outward like the others so I rmoved it so the leaf would lie flat.

[Fred Bourque]

WOW! Fantasic compostion. the contrast between to 2 colors is just perfect....I have a lot to learn here.
