Theme - High Key Leaf

[Paul Lagasi]

Not really sure if this qualifies....pasted leaf photo on to back ground...converted to B & W, raised levels to lighten image....comments welcome

Hi Paul, I like the leaf you chose to be the center of interest. I find the bright leaves on the upper left are competing very strongly with the foreground leaf. If the bright leaves were muted as the rest of the backround I feel it would make for a stronger image.

Hi Paul, I see Dave's point, maybe just burn the top left corner area a bit. It looks like you added an orton effect to the BG which is lovely- Very nicely done and this definitely qualifies!!

Paul, nice job! Burn the tl a little per Dave and Denise to highlight your main leaf. It looks kind of IR - nice
effect:)

I like the effects you used, Paul, and agree on burning the bright leaves in the BG. I might also crop out the tree trunk in the BG. Well done.

Thank You, for comments, Denise you got a keen eye..yup there was an Orton on background.
Dave, I masked the leaves (leaves were bright fall yellow converted to B & W) in top left, then cloned them from bottom right and removed tree.
