[Roman Kurywczak]

Congratulations David Leroy for your image "Dried Leaf" being chosen as the Macro Image of the Week for the week ending 1/21/2011!!!

This is my winter scene. Raining too hard outside so brought in a dried leaf.
7D, 100mm and extension tubes, 1.6sec, f11. Photo is cropped. I darkened the green a bit and also considered a symmetrical crop.

Thanks a lot Tom and Grace. I appreciate the comments.

Grace it is interesting that with so many wonderful photographers posting photos, some stick in a persons mind. Yours have always struck me as very well done and something to aspire toward. They seem so natural and capture an essence that I like. Thank you.
