Photo I believe I'm a leaf ... by Virgil

Shot at "Haus des Meeres" (House of the Sea) which is Viennas biggest terrarium and a good place to test macro lenses :-)

Note: like at every terrarium you' ve to put into consideration that it was shot thru thick protection glass!

Excellent colors, it is very well caught the staff, a lot of white on leaves , balance white there is less. Creative successes

@ Kirill - I had a decission to make - either expose for the reptile or for the surrounding. You' re right that some of the leafs show blown highlights due to the spotlight which lit the terrarium but these are the decissions we have to make all the time we shoot and i decided in this case to care about my main subject rather then it' s surrounding.

@ ALL - Thanks for recognizing my work and the comment given.

Cheers
Virgil
