Autumn in backlight - my favorite Photo

Photographer’s Note

This plant is some sort of vine that grows around our outbuilding. It has a strange sort of berry to it that resembles grapes, but I don't what they are. They sure look pretty in backlight, though. But then? I LOVE backlighting. Won't be long until winter now....

Hi Dearest friens
That's great !
It's very interesting to see this picture in back lights with a very good exposure management and a nice shaprpeness.
I have done a WS just for making a colour experience.
Hope you like it.
Sincères amitiés.

Hi Shelly,
Wonderful colours ! You're right, back light gives some transparency that permits great details of this leaves. Excellent sharpness and focus: the bokeh makes us pay more attention to the subject.
Regards,
Delphine

Hi, Shelly -

This kind of shot is trickier than it seems; I know - I love backlighting too. The light edging looks like artifacts, but it's not; it's the real light. Beautifully crisp, as well.

Best,
Dan

Bonjour Shelly,
superbe et très technique ce plan rapproché aux teintes d'automne. Le flouté derrière est d'une grande qualité, la profondeur de champ bien réduite, mettant le focus sur les feuilles proches.
Un grand niveau de détails et des couleurs bien naturelles.
Regards.
Daniel.

Hi Shelly, Beautiful photo of these colourful leaves in the backlight. Nice image, I like the colour of the background.

Warm regards

Hi Shelly
The backlighting is superb and does justice to the colours of this vine. There is also a flow as the eye follows the diagonal line to the top and then to the leaves on top and down to the leaves on the bottom.
Well done.

Allô Shelly!
Merveilleuse image, il fallait avoir un bon sens d'observation pour le voir. La qualité d'image est excellente et les couleurs fantastiques. Coîncidence nous sommes tous les deux dans les plantes aujourd'hui et dans le vert et le rouge, même lumière aussi. La composition est excellente.
Bravo!... et passe une belle soirée,
Emilius

Hi Shelly,
Keen eye discovering this beautiful autumn macro.
The light here is perfect making the delicate leaves translucent as they stand out brilliantly against the muted velvet green backdrop.

Hello Shelly:

A great closer, and an interesting job for the pleasant effect that produces the light through the red leaves.

Details that are displayed to the naked eye may go unnoticed. The fund serves as a backdrop contrasts very well with the rest of the outlet, all within a large frame.

litiancai (1046) 2008-11-19 20:39

Hi Shelly,
The overall colours and composition you've chosen are fantastic! It's so perfectly sharp, and the colour of the background contrasting against the red leaves is great. Really, quite an elegant photo! Regards

Hi Shelly,

This is wonderful .. I love how you have maintained control of the exposure and used that back light to such a beautiful effect .. the background blur .. bokeh .. I think is wonderful as well ... and the light really lifts the foreground away from it .. hmm a lesson there .. very nice. take care,

John
