i dont think the lighting is very ballanced, it looks like you just darkened the left side, while leaving the right almost normal. for the effect you're going for here i'd try cutting out the leaf, and keeping that bright, or even brighter, while making sure everything else is quite evenly lit. i like the colours

Carl;
Thanks for your input. My thought at the time was to keep the Dark area off center to have it appear as a "natural spot light" so to speak. I will try your idea. It sounds as if I can get it to work for me. Thanks again.

I really like this image. It does seem to me, also, that the left is a little too dark compared to the center and the right side. Otherwise, very well done and great subject matter and idea.

Thanks for your input on my image, "Water Droplit on Aspen Leaf" Since you are the second to express a view about the left side of the image I think that I will have to rework it and see if I am happier with it.

umm...dont change it...i really like the fact that the left is very dark...it adds as u say...a natural lighting effect to the image..great job..i love how clear the leaves are...great job on this 1

I like how the dark blends left to right to light...nice job

I too love the light where it is. There's nothing artificial about it this way. It's more like a discovered, natural little miracle

I also think that it's lovely as is. If the light was centered it would still be a beautiful image, but it would not be as natural and "captured." Great job!!
