This is really a lovely capture Chris. The detail is so great, the color is so unique and the lighting is perfect. I especially like the tiny imperfections in the leaves, they seem to keep this so much more realistic.
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
The colors and lighting are incredible, and the simplicity makes this artwork breathtakingly beautiful. I almost feel like I can actually touch and feel the leaves.
Well Chris you certainly have the detail in the leaves and the flash set nice to just illuminate the subject, Im wondering if you are able to cut back on the intensity of the flash if it would clear up the slight hot spot on the top leaf. Maybe it is not possible. I cant comment on the color balance since I was not there and have no idea what type of plant this is, but having seen your work in the past I would have to say it is quite accurate. Real nice work here Chris.
