Leaves I captured against a brick wall earlier in the day. I did do work through layers and color alteration to this image, but feel that the lines and patterns are the predominant elements here--in fact, the reason I did the color changes was to highlight the lines-- so I am trying the Elements of Design category for this one-- Hope I categorized it correctly! :)

Excellent capture and outstanding colours created. Great work Jennifer. #4533139Sam Britt July 21, 2007 0
Great composition & effects, Jennifer. This would probably fit the Digital Darkroom category too, but Elements of Design is a great place for it as well. #4533189Jennifer L. Alder July 21, 2007 0
Thanks everyone-- Sam and Colleen-- I had it narrowed down to those two, LOL! I just felt that the shapes, patterns and lines were more predominant than the "Effect" here. I think many images could fit into multiple categories! I appreciate your input! :) #4533202Dr. Harmeet Singh July 21, 2007 0

Thanks Harmeet, Ursula and Louise--what an honor! :) #4533724Steven E. Ray July 21, 2007 0
Exceptional photo and Photoshop work! The metallic colors is an unexpected treatment of this type of subject matter. You must have fiddled with the sliders for awhile to settle on a effect that typically reflects a designers mood that day :) Beautiful Jennifer! #4533748Jennifer L. Alder July 21, 2007 0
I appreciate it, Steven! Awhile is right--LOL! I started with an idea and ended up with this a couple hours later--- But, after witnessing your mastery of PS, you probably know how that goes! :) #4533764
