This is a shot of some leaves of an unusual variety of geranium. I used more contrast to show off the variegation of the leaves.

Wow, this looks great. Jumbled, but the outline contrast is awesome. Well done.

funky. Almost looks infrared ?

Good choice of an organic pattern for B/W - has a nice, eerie feel. Backfocused a little (the leaves in fg are just oof).

Very nice textures and patterns, nice range of tones, but it seems like the leaves in the foreground are out of focus compared to some that are further from the camera.

The structure is nicely emphasized by the B&W and inversion. My only complaint is that I think it could have been better with a strong focal point.

Nice photo. The focus seems a bit soft.

Nice tonal range. A few compression/sharpening problems, but I didn't notice them until I'd been looking at the picture for a while. The single biggest thing I would prefer to see in this picture is a single focal point. Maybe one big leaf surrounded by lots of small ones? Or a flower surrounded by all the leaves? I don't quite know what to suggest.

I really like the strong contrasts here, as well as the decreasing sizes of the leaves from the center outward.

Great contrast. Not a really interesting shot IMO, The focus is a little wierd on the front leaf. Overall I give this a 5.

I like the composition, but the edges seem a little blown out. It think that's the term.

Interesting photo! the patterns in this one are nice :)
06/04/2002 07:12:00 PM
like the coloring, wish they were a tad more defined though. good job.

Nice shapes...they look too deeply lobed to be geraniums, but Im bad at botany...
06/03/2002 01:13:00 PM
Neat b&w, really different.
06/03/2002 11:39:00 AM
They look like they've been xrayed!
06/03/2002 11:24:00 AM
Interesting photo.
06/03/2002 10:33:00 AM
Have they been fed radium?

Nice contrast. Leaves in front don't seem to be quite as much in focus as some of the ones in the back. Needs a center. A bug on a leaf or something like that would hold the interest a little longer for me.
