Thanks for the great comments,Ilona, Peter,A.T. and Alvaro. Thank you for the good advice A.T. Peter, I don't think the red spot disturb my eyes :-) Many regards Karen
First of all, nice pic... I really like distressed leaves, and this is a nice framing.
Huh. Hadn't noticed that spot on the left... if you didn't like it, you could probably photoshop it out fairly easily. The top right has got some overexposure going but that could be cropped out... there's a nice, fairly symmetrical crop starting at the first gnaw-mark on the left. :)
Kinda like below: (the color correction on my part is horrid but I gotta run, sorry)
Probably it's better your way but I can't help meddling. :) I hope you'll forgive me.
Special shot Karen, excellent exposure on the leave .. but looking at the overall picture, it's a disturbing red spot on the left .. photography is about details Karen .. regards, Peter
