Abbey W- Palm Tree


The title of this image is called "Palm Tree". I took this photo of one of the leafs of the palm tree. I really like how it goes from really dark to a bright green almost yellow color in the leaf. I duplicated the layers several times changing it from normal to over lay and then to vivid. I also bumped up the saturation for the blue sky in the lower part of the picture and the dark greens in the center of the leaf. I really like how this turned image turned out but I really wish I was more aware of the building in the background and wish I would have taken the photo with out it being there.

I really enjoy the vivid colors of green in the plants. I love the detail and angle you have from under the plant leaves. I think you did a great job on editing and I personally don't believe the building in the background is a distraction. The spikes on the plant stand out along with the lines in the leaves. Beautiful!

Cool Photo. This is a perfect example of taking a photograph at an extreme angle. I also like the contrast of dark and light colors, yet they all go well together because they are all shades of grey. I like this photo because there are many components and complex, even if it is just a single leaf. I believe you used the filters and layers very well to create the nice effect this photo possesses. Again, Fantastic Job.

I really like this picture! The coors are very bright and vivid and immediately draw your attention. The angle is also very interesting. The picture reminds me of summer because of the bright colors and the angle makes the picture look very complex. The only think I would change is to desaturate the background some because it becomes a little too distracting from the leaf. Overall this is a great picture!

Nice job! I like the bright yellows and greens and I like the level of detail of the palm tree. I also like that the center of the palm tree is not in the center of the photo. This is probably a personal issue, but i'd use my spot healing brush to get rid of the little wispy parts around it. And also I don't think the building is necessary in the background.

This is a cool picture, the thing that mainly catches my eye is the way the sun comes through the leaves of the palm tree. The circular shape the tree takes is also really interesting for the composition of this photo. the detail is really good as well. nice photo!
