Default Backlit Leaf

I was taking pictures of solo leaves last week and this is one from a set of them I did back lit.

Very interesting shot. I like the black framing.

Hi Mike - I love how this turned out ... is this a natural white bg or did generate it? .. either way, it's very beautiful

The white background is actually a piece of Plexiglas that I had the leaf sitting on then I had the flash positioned about 2 feet below pointing straight up. That lit up the leaf as well as created the total white background I wanted.

Nice shot, Mike. The background has disappeared perfectly, leaving the leaf untouched, and perfectly exposed! Good form, Sir! This is my first time posting to one of your great shots! You came in under my radar! Welcome to DPS
