Description

08/04/08, Miyazu, Japan. Taken in my yard the first chance I could get upon arriving in my new home. I do so wish there were a catagory for leaves and plants. If they're not macro, I never know where to enter them.

Gorgeous image, Susan!!! I put leaves and plants in the N&L category if they aren't a macro. I hope you're enjoying your new home! #501274

Thanks Sharon, Rajesh, Terry and Sharon H! The N&L category seemed a logical choice to me too, but since I see mostly landscapes there, I wondered about it. Next time I'll try that. I really like plants and love dead leaves, so have been feeling a bit miffed about this! Kind of overwhelmed at the competition in the landscape category, though--wonderful to browse through, as there are so many spectacular images from the real pros! #3157054

This is one of those lovely miniature Japanese maples that I'm fortunate to have in my little garden. I've been trying to capture these leaves to my satisfaction for three months. I have a couple I like, like this one, but the virtues of this one are more due to Photoshop. Think I used my 70-300 with macro switch which accounts for the blurred background. The leaves are quite small. And aside from normal adjustments, think I cropped, applied a slight accented edges and then used the colour burn tool. I think I'm going to change my tactics and use another lens to do close up rather than macro. #3379175
