Ice Leaves
Crocosmia leaves in frost.
This was taken in my garden last week after a hard frost - one of the first we have had. If last year was anything to go by, we may not have many.
I just liked the shapes, colours and textures. It’s difficult to make an image like this interesting though. It helps if you have some contrast in shape, colour or… something.
Contrasts are important in photographic composition, and there are so many types! What fun…
So what contrasts do you see here? I ask because we are all different in our visual make-up and I find that interesting.
But I digress. This is for Crazy Tuesday’s Textures theme this week. What a great idea!
There is also a mono version for my 100x Way Behind challenge. Mono is good for textures but I think I prefer the colour as there are more contrasts to add interest. An interesting experiment though, which is what it is all about.
Thank you for taking the time to look. I hope you enjoy the image. Happy Craziest of Tuesdays :)
[Handheld in the freezing daylight.
Developed in Capture One.
Processed in Topaz Detail… er… for lots of detail.
Vignette in Affinity for the colour version.
Silver Efex mono conversion starting from one of the Low Key presets with lots of balancing in the tweaks afterwards. Red filter. Light Selenium tone; dark edges.]
