Assignment: Holiday Colors

[Gail Spitler]

Hi All - we have had such a wintery fall that it is hard to remember which seasonal colors we are talking about. This is another "just walking around town with the G10" image. It is a maple leaf atop maple leaves.

C & C's much appreciated.

Cheers

Love the composition and nice bright, bold colors Gail. You have fine details and very good texture...well done...:cool:

Gail, nice colors and thanks for reminding me the holidays are coming.

[Jackie Schuknecht]

Beautiful contrasting colours and I like your composition. Nice and sharp too. Pretty Gail.

I love the color and texture and details. The only thing I keep thinking is that the leaves look placed, rather than as found out of doors. Is there some way to add something (water, web, bit of soil, something partially beneath a leaf edge) to make it look like they fell this way outside?

gorgeous colors! was the purple color there in the original? we don't have that in our maple trees here.

Hi Gail - love the contrasting colours - fine details and sharp as a tack.
Like it a lot.
With a G10 Compact :)

I like it! Very good colors and details. The petiole on right side is a bit distracting, but it's a nice image.

Hi All - thanks for the suggestions and kind remarks. I did have to check on what a "petiole" is; a stem for us less botanical folk. The composition is as it lay - so I left the petiole, and I debated about whether it added or distracted. Thanks for your thoughts.
Cheers
