    Default Design on leaf..

    I don't know the type of leaf.. Taken indoor with back light, But I try to take some Pattern and texture.. from this leaf..
    Not possible to focus whole leaf because of my small F 3.0..
    With canon A495
    F:3.0
    ISO:100
    What suggestion about darkening and lighting in this leaf??

    Hi Joshi. Your leaf has a lot of interesting patterns and textures and I like the diagonal comp. I think I would like this even more if the shadows weren't quite so pronounced - you might try lightening them a little. Lets see what others chime in.

    In my opinion this a perfect image for a black and white conversion. I like the patterns and the textures and think the conversion would really accent them. Great observation finding such an interesting leaf.

    Very nicely seen, composed and captured. Lovely patterns. The light accentuates the lines.Well done.

    Hey Joshi,
    I actually don't mind the bold lighting in this case although your limited DOF is a bit bothersome. Remember that you can turn the camera at an angle with these type of compositions to get the best possible orientation to the most interesting leaf veins. I think the UR veing takes a bit away from the prominant ones. If it was possible, rotating the camera CW to eliminate that if possible would have further strengthend the image. I do think you can crop out some of the OOF areas.....and that would also strengthen the comp IMO. I still like the fact you are exploring the differnt lighting! Well done!

    Nice subject and angled composition, Joshi. I don't mind the shadows--they give the image a lot a texture and a 3D feel.

    I like the shadows in this one too and Roman hit all the points. That camera doesn't have a manual mode but you might be able to use it's included settingg it to give you a smaller aperture. Try setting it to the landscape mode which should automatically set a smaller aperture. Depending on how big the leaf is, you might be able to get close enough with the zoom and minimum focus.

    I have a high sarcasm rate. Deal with it.

    Joshi, very nice and interesting details in this leaf capture! I like how the lighting gives depth to the veins. Roman makes some good suggestions, but very nice work!

    Hi Joshi, great advice already given. You may consider cropping off the OOF left side of the leaf.
