Sorry I deleted the first one. There were some errors there. These giant leaves belong to a plant called Gunnera Tinctoria . The leaves grow to about 7ft x 7ft. You can judge the size of the leaves from my car key lying there.

Great idea to put keys. It gives image lots of perspective. Don't think I've ever seen leaves that Big.

First of all, Raj, I've seen those miniature car keys. They are smaller than my smallest fingernail and are used to fake the size of objects. By my calculation these leaves are about as wide as an infant's hand. Secondly, what are "Ginat" leaves? I looked up Ganat and it's a distant cousin to a giant unicorn.

Nice colors but I spotted a little noise in the shadows beneath the leaves.

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust

What a neat capture, and the addition of the keys was a great idea.

Raj - These impressive plants can be seen in Stanley Park in Vancouver, BC, Canada too. They are amazing to see in person. Thad

Wow, those are huge, gorgeous leaves indeed Raj! It was a fantastic idea to put your car key there for scale, I really had to look around to find the key in the leaves. An excellent shot and beautiful light.
