Confession: I have some problems with this shot's levels and contrast. And it looks different in different monitors because of calibration. And the the day i took it was so cloudy with grey tones. Will be glad if you fix it, i've lost my patience :)

And i give this title to make smile to Wong. I know that he's feverish fan of Lord of the Rings...

**info**
This shot is taken in Istanbul, in garden of Ihlamur Pavillions.
This golden leaf belongs to a special tree. It’s a gift from China in Ottoman Empire time, called Ginko biloba. I admire its yellow leaves and I learned that fruit of it is used as medicine. (But i smelt it, its so stinky!!!)

Hi Elif

I like the natural emerald frame from the green moss. Excellent sharpness color & lighting. The leaf looks like an abstract butterfly or moth.

Beuatiful image with good colors at my monitor, you could move the leaf to the center of the stone, a geometric game with nature and job of the man, my compliments for this image.
Ciao
Vinicio

That is a pretty shot of Shire :) Even I am also a very big fan of Lord of the Rings. Nice caption :) TFS.

Kiran.

Looks fine on my monitor. Congratulations for seing this composition. I wonder if the leaf was already positioned there or there was a need for divine artistic intervention. Good work.

Alban

Hi Elif,
Once again, a magnificent photo. The simplicity of the composition and the basic colors combine to make a very peaceful, almost Zen-like image. The details are just right, from the placement of the yellow leaf, to the tiny bits of green growing up from the moss. The square format works perfectly here as well, as it mirrors the natural framing of the moss around the leaf. I think you were spot-on with the levels and contrast. Since you asked, I did a quick workshop to play around with the contrast. Great work, Elif!

Very good, so much details, good contrast and pov.

Great Shot! & you found Shire!! ;D Hey Thanks Elif for your kindness!! Don't know how to start, That's a greatest gift i ever have & share to all the LOTR Fans too!!! ^______^

Gingo is a great medicine for healing & clean up nerve sistem, although it's stinky ;)

Thanks a lot & all the best to you!
Wong

Hi Elif,
I love your compo. So simple and elegant. Looks like a sign - an arrow pointling right upwards framed by nice green frame. Before I have read the note I wanted to ask what had happen to the leaf - looks like a little overburned... but after I have read it, I know :-) tfs

Marek

Hi Elif,

TFS,

ferran

Hello Elif,
beautiful picture, beautiful the mosaic
and the gold leaf stiller enriched
Beautiful composition, beautiful picture
Congratulations

Sérgio

The brightness and colors look perfect for me in this shot. Perhaps, the leaf is a bit unnaturally gray in some parts, but, other than that, I don't have any problem with the colors. Lovely composition. The whole image is rather ... cute!

Merhaba Elif Hanım
Tekrar merhaba.HArika çalışmalarınız çok hoşuma gidiyor.
Çok güzel kompozisyon oluşturuyorsunuz . Güzel renkler.
Ayrıca net bir çekim olmuş.. Güzel paylaşım.Taşların arasından çıkmış otlar ve yosunlar harika.

Kerem

Hello Elif,
Beautiful work of composition. Contrast foams/stone gives much relief.
The sheet of autumn and its small history make the remainder.
Congratulations.
Stéphane
