Theme: Fallen Leaf

[Christopher Miller]

For this fall photo, I converted to sepia using channel mixer, hue/saturation, two color fill layers, and a photo filter layer. I then added a few blur overlays with the leaf masked out a bit, a little noise, and a vignette. Any C&C are welcome!

Hi Christopher, beautiful composition. I like the perspective and how the stem/petiole extends to the edge. Very nice colors and effect. Only thing I am going back and forth is on the near end blur and not sure if it adds to the image IMHO. I will wait to see others comments. Overall an excellent composition!

Christopher, I think the composition and desat. is lovely .I might clean-up the white spot in front of the leaf. I see Indranil's point on the blur,maybe a bit less at the bottom right? Very pleasing image.

[Christopher Miller]

Thanks Harshad, Indranil, and Denise. I took your advice and reduced the blur a bit on the bottom. I also cleaned up the white spot. Let me know how this looks.

Beautiful IMO!

Hey Christopher, Agree with the comments above on the OP.....great job on the re-post....has the dreamlike/orton feel to it.

[Fabs Forns]

Excellent rendition with soft vintage feel to it. I also like the repost better.

[Dave Phillips]

nice, the repost is definite improvement IMO......soft would be good, but not the excess blur.
For me(IMO only), I would try to give the stem a highlight all the way up

Thanks everyone! Appreciate your comments. Dave, I see your point on the stem. Erasing some of the blur from the stem might work, so I'll give a try.
