A Green Leaf

gnagel · May 24, 2017

An extreme closeup of an ordinary green leaf that was in front of my house...

Nikon D800, Nikon 200 f4 Micro

To bring out the texture and colors, I held a small Nikon strobe behind the leaf during the exposure.

Thanks for looking...

Beautiful abstract. Love it. I would do nothing to it - leaf it alone.

Thanks...the backlighting from the strobe seemed to really help.

Thanks...it looks a lot cooler from this close. From a distance, it looks quite ordinary. That's one of the joys of a macro lens!

Very good - you should take photos of insects, if you can take ones like this of a leaf.

Everything he posts on here is amazing. IMO, one of the best on here. I have seen images where he used golden rules, pie rules, 3rd rules, and no rules. He is a fine artist.

If you catch JC's attention, you're doing something right! Well deserved nomination for POTM. This is an incredible view of an ordinary object. Macro is very interesting when viewed through your images. Give us more!
