July Title - One on the Bright Side

How I did it -

COMMENTS: 

David Halgrimson	Nice composition and form. Contrast of the single leaf is very nice. Detail and sharpness are tack on. I might add a little vignette to draw the eyes more to the single leaf.
Mohammed Arfan Asif	Jerry this is a classic image for me. The bright side up has a pleasing tonal quality and compo. Since the leaf is near horizontal on the diagonal, I prefer the horizontal as presented. The subdued lighting and soft shadows have rendered the leaf with great clarity and detail. I like the leaf placement and concept.

Paul Hoffman	Now considering this is from a negative you have achieved something special. You have captured some wonderful tones and great detail. Placement is spot on. This is a great black and white.

Jim Baker	Beautiful monochrome arrangement of oak leaves with one highlighted leaf in a diagonal composition.  The  dark leaves provide a nice background and in effect a frame.  Good range of tones.  This is a super monochrome image.
