  Jeff- to start with the constrasting colors of the leaf against the back ground is gorgeous. Beautiful textures and the lines of the storm drain give a wonderful look.

  What an eye you have..course, we all KNOW that...but this is exceptional - the gorgeously shaped and textured bright yellow leaf against the blue bars of the storm drain...OK, I'm just prattling on here when one word could sum it up: Perfection!

  Strong elements of design and color Jeff. Your composition with the vertical lines gives it power and the little curl of the leaf gives it a delicate balance to that power. I love it!

  Jeff- As impressed as I am with the unique EOD of the picture, what amazes me even more is your seeing it and realizing the beauty it has for a photo. A lesson to be learned for all of us. Keep looking and imagining.
The strom drain with its bars does so much for the picture in beauty and design. I love the blueish color and you did a fantastic job of keeping the lines perfectly straight. The contrasting color of the leaf is gorgeous, love the yellow with the little red spots on it. Texture plays such an important part of this picture and then the amazing sharpness and lighting that even brings out the little veins running though the leaf.
Remarkable work my friend.
Have a great weekend, take time to enjoy.

  This is superb Jeff... the composition is awesome and the contrasting color of the deep bluish background accents the yellow flower perfectly. Not sure if you saw it this way or put the shot together, but either way ...a great eye for framing and presentation!
