Hooray for the funny world we live in. Coincidences like that are always a nice surprise. Lovely image, the light that tries to shine through the leaves, lighting them up just so :)

@bluechameleon: thx! everyday thousands of images of the same thing, each one unique.

yes this is great, for me the light has created a tunnel where this leaves are lit up and the background is swirling in darkness. well done jerry

@Matt Sutton: thx! learning how this lense handles backgrounds when completely open.

Super B/W image. Good tonal range and great lighting on the leaves. Good detail and DoF too.

@MaryP: thx! it will take a year to master this lense.

This conveys such depth . . an invitation to what awaits beyond. Lovely shot, Jerry.

Another photographer thus has the same passion as you for leaves !
It's a surprise to discover an image similar to his in a magazine.

I like the backlighting, but I especially like the psychedelic whirling sensation created by the background.

@GJC: thx! that's what i was thinkin. the whirl is attributed to the lense wide open.

This picture has both a soothing and a frenetic quality. Really gorgeous.
