Backlit Backyard Leaves
Last Thursday after work, I went out of my way to go shooting in a fancy-schmantzy neighborhood of Baltimore. When I came home and got out of my car, I happened to notice some beautiful backlighting on some on these hostas at the side of our house. After all was said and done, this was the only good photo of the day. I wouldn't say at all that the special trip to that fancy neighborhood was a waste, but it's funny how I found the best image right in my backyard.

Nice composition and lighting, Steve, good catch! I like the limited colors (black and green) here that emphasizes the light and different shades). That's a monster zoom range on the Tamron. Does it have image stabilization?

ah i *heart* the backlighting too! cropping to the upper left 3 leaves would be a spectacularly captivating image, imo :)
Thanks Warren & Lea,
Lea - I quickly tried the crop this morning - it *is* good, thanks for the idea. I need to to a very little bit of photoshoping to take care of a small blob of adjacent leaf before I post it ;-)
Warren - it *does* have image stabilization, which is very effective. I'm planning to do a writeup on this lens Real Soon Now... if I do get to it ;-) I'll post it here as well as on 2ndExposure.
Best regards,

Nicely done Steve, that is the irony of photography, beauty is all around us and we often just need to capture it without elaborate trips etc. Once it is cropped it should be spectacular with the primary colors of black and green.

my .02: I like the composition as it is. :)
I'm sure a tighter crop would also yield a nice composition, but it would be a different feeling.
