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 20, 2007
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 20, 2007
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 20, 2007
This is unique and very artistic.Lovely worl and a perfect title. #4533274Ursula I. Abresch July 20, 2007

Thanks Harmeet, Ursula and Louise--what an honor! :) #4533724Steven E. Ray July 20, 2007
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 20, 2007
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! :) #4533764Su Sana E. P July 21, 2007

Jennifer, as others have said above, the EOD category is as appropriate for this as Digital Darkroom. (And remember: when you're unsure, there's always the Catch-all category!)Carol Sawyer July 21, 2007
