[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Hi Everyone. It has been such a wet Autumn I have not been able to get out to take any shots of the Autumnal colours. Yesterday I went for a wet walk and collected some leaves, when I got home I set up my state of the art macro studio and fired away using the window as a light source hence the 10 second exposure. The shot was taken using a 62mm X4 magnifying lens.

P.P. Sharpen in Smart Sharpen 136% 2.6 pixels radius. Added 10% to saturation. Reduce and frame for T.L.

Thanks for looking, Phil.

P.S. The workshop is my macro studio ;~)

Hi Philip,
A great macro of these autumnal leaves with different colours in a fine composition. Details and sharpness are wonderful.
TFS and have a nice weekend!
Cheers,
Bayram

i like the composition and textures but think the colour should be richer. if you half close your eyes there is not a lot of tonal difference. have a look at my autumn leaves theme for similar shots.

Hi,

So sweet and lovely idea, colors are nice and it's an excellent idea

Like your macro studio:) (Mine is on a piano bench...hehe.) Anyway, this macro view is a good idea, with the subtle color and texture differences of the layered leaves creating an interesting combination. The light catches the details and the leaf edges just right. Beautiful:)

This I like. The simplicity of the arrangement, the subtlety of the colours. I really like the V-shape veins on the right, the diagonal on the left, and the more random parallels below.
Great idea and delivery!

Nice detailed colourful shot. The colour / texture of the leaf to the top right reminds me of that of a leather seat (say in a vintage car)!
