I like “Near” because the leaves for an interesting curve.

“Underneath” is really interesting, almost an abstract. The blurred green background sets off the brown branch nicely. I see a clear, clean leading line AND and a triangle in the lower right corner. I really like that shot.

“Close up” shows off the color contrast very well, but I’d have liked to have seen you get even closer. I like super-close close-ups, but that’s just me.

Interesting how everyone so far has chosen to photograph something in nature for this assignment — leaves and flowers.
Really nice job on this.

Yeah, I like underneath too. It’s my favorite of the set and I did think it made a good abstract. I guess the key for me is to not TRY to make an abstract I would have like to take one more even closer shot of the leaf, but I had already maxed the zoom lens and it was high up

I’m really happy with this set. thanks for your comments

Linda, what a great idea to give instruction on your blog. THis past year I opened a photoblog and have been trying to give viewers an idea of why or how I took the photo — more of the “what inspired me” but I like so much that you’re giving a helping hand to aspiring photographers. Great idea!!
