Lovely lighting - what are those specks? Motes turned to gold dust by the slanting rays?

i thought it was some light "hair" from the twig holding the leaf.

hmm.. dunno if it was your intention, but in my oppinion the contrast is too stark, its like the leaf has been cut out from a photo and then put on the background here..

reminds me about this poem i read once, had to do something with this girl who would die when the last leaf fell off this vine cuse of deppression or something so this old dude painted a picture up on this wall and he died cuse of pnemonia or something but the girl lives and it's just a really cool poem, nice job, i like.

nondescrypt [2004-10-27 01:16:52 +0000 UTC]

sweet shot...
I love how the light kind of illuminates through the leaf
and highlights the branch (and it's neat how you extended the branch past the border/frame)
and the focus on the leaf, and the blur of the background...

I get this almost.. lonely... feeling.. looking at it..
the last leaf.. it's kind of thought-provoking.... to me anyway.. but i'm just weird

gothicrei [2004-10-27 00:18:57 +0000 UTC]

Well a very nice work
the glow in the perfect place gives the leave more importance in the pic
and the thing you do with the framming is pretty nice...

That's beautiful. I love how the yellow contrasts so well with the background. It really is beautiful. There's this cheesy little film called "The Last Leave" that's kinda touching too.. reminds me of it.

nice one really well done
Love that effect on the side of the photo, like if the lil brace would grow out of nothing....
autumn is such a great time for taking photos
just so many beautiful colors and light made by the nature....
cheers and greats

Nice shot, might have been slightly better if you had more of the actual tree in the shot, because you don't see much of it.

perfect shot no critique here, but I would not have used the branch in the frame, but that is just my idea, but the picture is really really good
