   Nice going, both in bringing out the leaf’s sensuality and in having your work featured in FRAMES. Your dry leaf project is flourishing, or should we say foliaging? Did you have any difficulty deciding how much dark area, if any, to crop off at the top and bottom of the frame?

      Yes, I had tremendous difficulty with that and also, how dark the background should be. Fine tuning that works better on the screen than in print.

   Oh wow !!
   Simply superb. I’ve never seen such a beautiful yet so compelling photograph of a leaf. Nothing compares. You are the leaf whisperer. Outstanding.

         Same. I hate the cold. But at least the sun found a way out today. That helps. Spring can’t get here a moment too soon !

   There’s a powerful photograph beyond being “botanical” lurking in a tightly cropped region of the curl on the left side of the image.
