Frosted Leaf

Comments and critique welcomed.

Dunno how well it will come across on the web. I printed it 16x11 and framed and hung it. It looks amazing in print. IMHO.

Good shot, but from my point of view a bit too tight. If you cropped, try a wider image and decenter the leaf.

On here, the focus seems softl, and because of that, I don't get a real feeling for frost. Maybe in color it might work better because the frost would be white.

Good tonal range here, though.

I quite like this as it is, although Skip's comments are valid too. I do find the stalk leading from the centre of the leaf and going out of frame on the centre left a little distracting, leading my eye out of the shot, but the exposure and ligting look spot on.

Not seen much of you lately, have you been away?

I am imagining this as the large print you intended it to be and I want it for my wall! Great shot. I think the softening is because of the compression and the original is likely to be very sharp. Great work.

Thanks Rob. It does indeed look even more impressive than I initially hoped in large print. I printed it on an Epson 4000 on Kodak paper. Looks so sharp it almost hurts. Thanks for the comments.

agree with whats already been said, looking at it this size doesnt work for me but it does when imagining it as a large print. Super detail and clarity. well taken

Ican imagine this works really well as a large print, the tonal range is very good.
