Hearty-Here' s the original. I really didn' t do very much on this one, though. So it' s not all that interesting.
YAFU-I don' t know what you see that' s dark. If you can tell me what you mean I' ll lighten that part up if you want.
Erisian-It' s a pretty cheap Nikon digital camera, nothing special. Still can' t afford a really HQ camera
Payne-I never scale my images down. I want you to see them exactly how I intended them to be. It' s really too bad that this forum automatically scales everything down so for now you' re just going to have to click it and hit "Expand to actual size".
Actually I really like how the leaf disappears out of frame, that' s kind of what I was going for. Having the whole leaf in frame would have made it too static for me.
Thanks for the compliments guys
