| NEW ONES: |
Every
autumn I am delighted by the awesome beauty of the fallen leaves at my
feet. I enjoy their colors, shapes, textures and patterns. I am especially
entertained by their colors. I have played with some colorful leaves on
various backgrounds using the digital medium. I have also manipulated
some of the digital photographs a bit here and there in various ways.
A figure- ground composition suits me well. I like the one-two punch of
it. I hope you enjoy my presentation of these photographs. I call the
series...

"Loose
Leaves" |
| |
| |
| I only
cropped this one. The leaf in this photo has "FRECKLES"., digital
photograph, 2009 |
|
| |
| |
| |
| I used
the sharpen tool to excess to create the "cubed effect" for "GOING
SQUARE", digital photgraph, 2009 |
|
| |
| |
| |
| "HOW
COLORFUL IS A LEAF", I enjoy the endless number of different colored
pixels available in my photo editing software. Again, I used the sharpen
tool., digital photograph 2009 |
|
| |
| |
| |
I
call this one "OVEREXPOSED CAMOUFLAGE for obvious reasons., digital
photograph, 2009
|
|
| |
| |
| |
| This
one looks like "PHAGOCYTIC MACROPHAGES" eating up the bad bacteria.,
digital photograph, 2009 |
|
| |
| |
| |
| "Crispy"
is the right title for this one. I only increased contrast a bit., digital
photograph, 2009 |
|
| |
| |
| |
| Increased
contrast and cropping is how "ORANGE JUICY" came about., digital
photograph, 2009 |
|
| |
| |
| |
| I never
touched this leaf. It was lying on a "GORGEOUS" concrete surface.
Contrast is stepped up a bit here., digital photograph, 2009 |
|
| |
| |
| |
| "KISSY
LIPS" looks like a lithograph or a serigraph. The sharpen toool was
used to excess., digital photograph, 2009 |
|
| |
| |
| |
| "LUSH
GREEN" is a refreshing change. I only cropped this one., digital photograph,
2009 |
|
| |
| |
| |
| I'm
"SO DIZZY, MY HEAD IS SPINNG" after looking at this one. Love
the pink areas., digital photograph, 2009 |
|
| |
| |
| |
| This
leaf has a "CUSHY PLACE". A little sharpen tool used here., digital
photograph, 2009 |
|
| |
| |
| |
| "SHE'S
SO DREAMY" is all about a focus thing., digital photograph, 2009 |
|
| |
| |
| |
| There
is a missing tip in "NOBODY IS PERFECT", which is just cropped.,
digital photograph, 2009 |
|
| |
| |
| |
| Sooo...
very sensuous is "PINK"., Contrast was decreased a bit., digital
photograph, 2009 |
|
| |
| |
| |
| The
holes in the leaf spell, "POO"., The piece was just cropped.,
digital photograph, 2009 |
