Photographed during a casual stroll through a downtown neighborhood, another early shakedown cruise and familiarity exercise for me and the 7D. Although I had my 100mm macro along for the trek, in the end I relied exclusively on the long telephoto for its extended reach, perspective compression, and superior image stabilization, each a key element in this composition. Most impressive to me, however — the fine quality of sharpness retained at ISO 800, a triumphant performance here simply beyond the capabilities of my now semi-retired 20D.

What I really appreciate in this photograph is 1) the angle which makes sunlight to fall on leaf and thus makes it look more beautiful with all its colors properly visible.
ReplyDelete2)The overall color combination. Red and green patterns with golden lining due to sunlight on the edges of leaf.
Great Job.
