Sometimes one gets this shot of light, wonderfully captured Lorraine! And very symbolic too!
13 Jul 2008 11:02pm
@Illuci: Isn't it gorgeous Erik, and well said :)
akarui from Kagoshima, Japan
Nice contrast of light and shadows. What would you think to crop the bottom to remove that leaf with the highlight? I might crop a little the right too to have the main leaf less centered.
13 Jul 2008 11:06pm
@akarui: Hey Akarui, you are absolutely right, cropped to the right just a little before the second leaf and dropping the bottom would have made it even better. Truly! BUT, I was so awed by the Light, that I didn't have to manipulate in any way to make it appear like this, that I decided to leave it totally natural. But your suggestions are right on :) Thanks for dropping in!
Janice Thomson from Canada
Utterly beautiful mon amie! That light is so hard to capture without blowing out the colors. Well done!
13 Jul 2008 11:28pm
@Janice Thomson: Hey You, I give the Light the entire credit, isn't it magnificent, no interference on my part ;)
Viewfinder from Bradenton, United States
Hi, had a minute to visit around to a few of my friends' sites. This is a truly beautiful capture of light and texture at play with each other. And thanks for your nice words over my way this morning! Bella's had a much better afternoon; the sun came out and the thunder is gone for now. She hates thunder and fireworks.
14 Jul 2008 12:51am
@Viewfinder: Aren't you sweet, thanks so much Vf, always keeping that beauty in my prayers... ps my cats hide too when there's thunder or loud noises ;)
@Cool Daddio: It's so wonderful so see you Jim :)

Fliss from Melbourne Beach, United States
