Just a simple shot of a Norway maple leaf - but does it work?

Re: Maple Leaf

It does work but...the light background seems to draw my eye to it rather than the main subject matter. Also if you have cropped this I would suggest that it would have been better if you could loose some of the stalk at the top and bring in the missing portion of the lower leaf.

Re: Maple Leaf

Thanks Peter and Tom.
I have cropped but was unsure whether to leave the stock in or out.Your comments have confirmed what I thought.

Cheers

Re: Maple Leaf

Strangely we had a very simular pic come up in a club competition last week. The Judge had simular comments about the background and quality of leaf. He suggested dark wet smooth slate and a very good leaf. What do judges know any way.

Re: Maple Leaf

It was a grab shot from the garden before SOMBO cleared them away but you have given me food for thought.

Thanks Treff.

Re: Maple Leaf

Thanks DeeGee, it seems ok this end maybe it has something to do with the dreaded 503 error had a lot of trouble loading this image.
