frank w. degenhardt October 17, 2009

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. #8045007
