Description A simple leaf floating on a lake with bright early morning sun mixed with a white sky.

Just hit auto levels in PS and framed.

This is way different than I usually post here and my take on nature shots. Probably why I don't post many because while my 'different' stuff in the studio seems to work on dA, that same 'different' mindset usually doesn't work with nature shots. LOL

I just like the peaceful nature of it. Hope you do.

I love this shot! The simplicity of the single leaf on the lake, where you can only really make out the leaf and reflection clearly is wonderful. And the way the sky/water blends so smoothly from the pure white to the blue at the bottom is beautiful.

Only you could find an image in nature so clean and 'different' enough to fit into your gallery!

Of course, if I tried taking that shot...a bird will have swooped down and pooped on the scene...knowing my luck. HaHa.

This is lovely.

Wow, it's really cool how much can be interpreted from such an image. There's so little, yet it's really beautiful. It may not be different in your usual way, but it's still not your average shot.

I almost thought it was a little salamander for a second, but now I see it clearly.
Very beautiful, reminds me of a dream.. like something is ending but there is a new beginning coming. It's very peaceful as well

Davenit In reply to snowunmasked [2008-12-30 22:10:15 +0000 UTC]

Thanks... I'm not really a nature shooter but I'm actually sorta proud of this one. I have a magazine feature coming out in a month or so of just my nature stuff and I had almost completely forgotten about his shot. I'm glad I looked through the archive.
