Leaves

[Paul Lange]

Taken today at Cambridge Botanical Gardens. Luckily it was in the greenhouse so I didnt get soaked in the terrible downpour. Water was literally sheeting off the roof.

That is fabulous Paul. I love the soft, almost velvet-like tones and limited range.

 

[Paul Lange]

Cheers Pete. I originally attempted this a few months back but when I looked at it there were some webs and bits and pieces that were distracting. Today I got the chance to retake it.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Stunning, Paul. You knew I would like this. Love the sharp edges of the leaves, contrasting with the smooth offshoots from the stalk. Nice tones too, allowing greater appreciation of the structure. Good stuff.

 

[Paul Lange]

I thought you would hate it Rob. It is nice and sharp, no blurriness and not a hint of camera shake.

 

[Nihat Iyriboz]

Beautiful tones, and a very nice abstract comp, Paul.

 

[Paul Lange]

Thanks Nihat

 

[Dan Cattermole]

Wow! Excellent Paul.
Very nice for the wall this is.

 

[Paul Lange]

Very kind Dan.

 

[Glenn Clabo]

Forgive me if I just stare Paul. This has a wonderful calming effect on me. Nicely done.

Glen? Glen? Are you still awake? If so cheers. If not I'll won't wake you.
