    Beaten, But Not Defeated C&C Welcome

    This one slipped under my radar, forgot I had it. A pretty weather beaten (and insect/mold eaten) Red Maple leaf that was hanging on against all odds.

    Do you have flash? It's an interesting subject and the colours are good. But if you shot it on manual and stopped down the exposure for the background (which is very bright) and then relied on a small amount of flash (doesn't need much) to illuminate the leaf you would get a much better exposure balance. As it is, my eye is drawn to the back of the image which is the brightest area. Flash can make an incredible difference to your shots when used correctly.

    Sometimes when I see a leaf like this just hanging on for its life, I wonder ... do they have feelings of being old and forgotten even by the wind and just fall off and die? I am blabbering Jack...ignore me. But I like the shot, it evokes memory of sitting down in my deck and looking all around there while I wait for the dogs to finish their short duties...

    Rob, just the on board flash. Valuable advice and much appreciated.

    Izzie, lol I think they just fall off and die. On the other hand, as the leaf decomposes into the surrounding soil it provides nutrients to the mother tree. Circle of life and all that.

    Rob that would be great! If it wouldn't be a bother there's a lens I'd like to get too.
    Everyone is on their honor not to use Rob's paypal password!
