WOW, Incredible, Conrad. One of the best I've seen.Conrad L. Conero May 26, 2019
Thanks, Judy and Judith. Nice to get positive responses from such talented photographers.Judith G. Secco May 26, 2019
Conrad, excuse me for commenting again, but I just can't get away from this one. I just love the colors, texture, lines and curves. Stunning.Conrad L. Conero May 26, 2019
Thanks again, Judith. You're excused. :) It's a straight photo, no alteration, using a 4x close-up lens on my Canon AE1. The leaf was so large I was able to block out the direct sun from my lens completely. Objectively I'd have to say it's one of my best shots, since it has won awards both in a local contest and at Picture.com (1st place medal). Just to document how good I think the photography is on this site, I'd be surprised to repeat that performance.Ken Ke-Wei Pan May 26, 2019

Another work of art Conrad. Love the composition, crop, color and backlight. ... I haven't seen much of your work in color and am really enjoying it. #7251625Conrad L. Conero March 06, 2009
This was taken the same day as the previous one I just responded to. I was thrilled with both. They were taken on color film. #7252108Sign up for an interactive online photography course to get critiques on your photos.
