Gingko Leaves
OK, summer photo slump is now officiallly over for me.
As Tropical Depression Ernesto blew towards Baltimore Friday, it brought rain and wind. But being that I had planned to go out for Chinese food for lunch, I wasn't deterred. On the way back, I noticed that there were Gingko leaves all over - I love their elegant fan shape and their colors.
The place with the Gingko trees had some outdoor cafe tables that I used to "pose" the leaves for the first three photos.
The last photo is actually a Gingko leaf in the gutter with water flowing over it.
All taken with my Canon A620 "walk-around" digicam.
Hope you like them!

Steve,
These are absolutely stunning examples of "Steve Rosenbach" photography :). I've been missing our regular fix since you've been busy.
I have a suggestion for the 3rd picture. Try cropping more off of the left and bottom so that the viewer's focus is more drawn to the contrast between the black and the stem and the curves on the stem side. The bright, reflective portion on the bottom seems unnecessary and even distracting in this shot, and a crop to the left so would balance the crop on the right.
All of these are superb, and very creative, but I think my favorites are the last two. I love the reflection of the running water in the last shot. Good eye!

Stever,
I like the last shot, where the movement of the water, the color of the leave brings the shot all together.
Nice Shot.
Wow, I can't even choose a fav -- they are all so great!
Each one is so simple. Just a leaf or two. Drain holes. Water. But together, the pictures are much greater that the sum of their parts! Awesome :)
