Mini Competition #139

[Donald]

I was looking at the shots I took of these leaves in the snow. At first I liked the one posted in this comp best because of the details in the leaf, but now I'm thinking I like the zoomed out version better. What do you think.

I'd definitely take the first one as well, Wendy.

Two points:

1. The use of negative space is fine, but in the second version I think there's too much
2. The shape and texture, and pattern on the main leaf (amd on the snow surrounding it) are such that they deserve/need the attention you gave them, in v1.

Congratulations Fausto - Very nice shot. I always need someone to help me up when I try shots like that

Good job
Wendy

Hi Wendy, thanks for your comment, I'm glad you like it. Actually I'm not an expert, but I guess the lenses helps a lot... I took this at 10mm, which in my camera is 15mm, and used a very small aperture to get some focus in the back.
