Hi Bev :)

This is simply a great work with lovely autumn feeling keeping a diagonally placed BG!
The contrast is superb between the yellow leaf and the green bench. The sharpness and POV are perfect.
A very natural and effective work, my friend!

Hi Bev,
A nicely composed captured with this Autumn fallen leaf positioned on back of the bench!
Nice diagonal lines with droplets scattered on the wood and a nice golden leaf right in the proper position to coop with the rule of thirds.
Fabulous lighting and details.
Great work!

Hi Beverley

The yellow leaf goes well, with the green of the park bench. I also like the repetitive diagonal lines, which add dynamism, & the repetition of the rainsdrops. Have a great weekend!

HI Bev
I like the fact that you centered the leave, it does give it the spotlight.
The wet bench a good prop for this leaf with the one drop of water looking like its shedding a tear.
Very nice shot

Hello Beverly,

I like very much your capture, great contrast and colors, a plus are the waterdrops on the bench, but I would like much more that the leaf was a bit out of center.

Have a nice weekend,

Hi Beverley,

Wow ! Great composition and colors. The DOF is very well mastered here. The central position of the leaf is great there since the diagonal lines of the bench add a dynamism which compensate for the central position of the subjet.

Kind Regards

Hi Bev
This is very good, I like the angle you have used especially the diagonals of the bench. The greens and yellows contrast well with perfect colours and saturation. You could make a cross process effect with this image and it would look very very cool and arty in my opinion.

This is just stunning! A truly postcard- or coffee-table-book- worthy image. The sharp detail of leaf and bench, the droplets of dew, the way the background mirrors and emphasises the colours of the foreground ... amazing.

The drop-shadow border is ok, although I'm not so keen on the signature, it marrs the image for me. I assume you add the signature with a text layer in PS, have you thought of reducing the signature's opacity to 30%? It makes it more subtle and preserves the integrity of the image.

dear Beverley,
this sad feeling of autumn is excellent,
lone fallen leaf in the cold rain,
vivid yellow leaf on dim green bench,
these situation is very poetic, and your shot shows us its depressed atmosphere well,
thank you,
