Thanks Mainiac & Mesoam! I didn't think it would come out that great but lighting is everyhing! Thanks again for your comments, I really appreciate it.
Ok I quit, how someone can take a picture of something so simple and it looks so much better then anything I do, that looks like the front of a hall mark card. I love the way you capture something so simplistic(is that a word), right down to the brown dead blades of grass and make it look so professional.
This is a nice find! Good presence of mind to be realising that the light is just PERFECT in that moment. Well chosen DOF --- it says "autumn" to me, all right!
And reminds me of the fact that a while ago while out on a walk I came past a backlit leaf on the side of the footpath that I just HAD to photograph back then. And as not to hijack your thread, but as a means of communication, all the same, let me post the_link to the photo . It is different, yet somehow similar, and I had to think of it when I saw your photo here.
