This is spooky Cat, but in a good way! From the thumb it looks like an open chest of ribs, spine, and a heart. I like the sharp contrasts and shadows. :-) CJ

Thanks Lydia (again), K2 and Julie. I am glad that you find this appealing :)

Very good, regardless of angle. Wonderful shadows and textures.

I think you saw it, Cat... perhaps subconsciously, but it was there to be found. You did it, not I. It's a beauty, for sure! ~Lydia

WOW, lots of comments on this one, Thank you all for the critique!!
I am glad Lydia suggested the rotation, I guess she saw something in there, which I couldn't. Thanks again Lydia!

Wow. The angle of this really works well. It looks like you are looking up at something, a heart, but what is it? Another mysterious image Cat. Again... way kewl! Ann C

I didn't see it before the rotation, but I like the effect of lines leading to the heart. It's amazing, sometimes, what Nature has hidden from the view of the common person, but not from the keen eye of a photographer.

Effective. Yea. I've heard about the drought in Atlanta :-( /Oved

I know this is not from rain. Am I going to have to call the water police? 8-)

Wow... It doesn't even look like a leaf anymore... more like an artsy, dare-I-say-girly thing. *grin* ~Lydia

What a difference 90 degrees makes (good eye Lydia!!!). Now the lines mean something. Neat image now. -tv

All roads lead to Rome. Well done Cat. You have very hard water in your area:-)

It looks good with this rotation. Plenty of lines pulling to the heart. -COAmature
Guest 10-Nov-2007 01:20
OK. Thank you guys...
Lydia, Here it is rotated, can I say all lines lead to the heart then ;-)

Rotated CCW, it would make a great heart photo... I like it. Don't listen to those 'line' folks, Cat! *wink* ~Lydia

The glove-like puddle has a powerful pull and the leaf lines seem too passive to be 'leading' in.. The contrasty bw shadow and light make an effective image though. -tv
