Not Fallen

Posted by Viewfinder (Bradenton, United States) on 12 November 2007 in Plants & Nature and Portfolio.

Drab autumn colors removed, here is the essence of what remains -- the not-yet fallen leaves on our backyard sycamore. Could become a rather trendy look, eh? Or not...

Please pray for Bella.

Bella Update: 10/12/08, Sun. Bella's in good spirits; we had our morning walk and a squirrel crossed her path. Highlight! Bella will see her doggie cardiologist again on October 14th. As always, God's good blessings and answers to prayer are our continuing hope. Blessings to all.

Bella's miracle, the one we're all praying for, is still a day by day process; it may take a bit of time for completion. Bella's battle for life, wellness, and needed healing for her heart isn't a sprint but a long-distance run. Bella and I thank you for joining her prayer "team" around the world. Each of you are truly special blessings to us.

Great shot. I like the shapes the leaves make.

@e.: Me too. I was kind of surprised when I de-saturated it, and this was left.

Rebecca from Leicester, United Kingdom

Heh, have to echo other friends on this one. Definitely a Rorschach effect here! :) Truly an eye-popping one today, dear VF! Truly superlative treatment.

@Rebecca: Thank you, dear lady. So, tell me, what do you see in this ink blot?
Heh. Seriously, I appreciate your kind accolades and hope your day is blessed.

Jen from Alpharetta, United States

I like I like...the essense of the hanging leaf, the high b/w contrast is very very cool!!!!!!!!

12 Nov 2007 7:54pm

@Jen: Thanks Jen. Something about this one -- the straight edge that seems a bit odd is actually a fold in the leaf which you can see clearly in the color version, but the edge is lost in the de-sat and it just looks like an edge.
