Thanks so much Ann. I made two visits to Cantigny to finally get the shot I wanted. Glad you like it!

Skip Willits
Great color, light and flow of lines in this image. Well done.
Joni Eskridge replied:
Thanks so much Skip. This was one of those images where I took a bunch and went home. Went through them and saw in one of them what I wanted, but it cropped too small; so I went back another day to get the image I was after. Glad you like it.
Marnie Patchett
Wow, this is so beautiful. The depth and light are incredible.
Joni Eskridge replied:
Thanks Marnie. I love the texture of these leaves and you just don't get the wow if you take the picture looking down. I had to go back a couple of times to get the right time of day and then get down on the ground to hopefully show off how wonderful they are. Glad you like it. This is hanging on the wall in our department at work, and it brightens everything up with it's rich shades of green.

when I look at someone's gallery, I'm always searching for something different and this one stands out as just that. Most people would not take a photograph of just a bunch of leaves, but how elegant and interesting they are. Really, really good!
Joni Eskridge replied:
Thanks so much Maggie. Really appreciate your kind words. I fell in love with the color, smooth texture and the veins in these leaves. Getting down at ground level made a much more interesting shot than looking down, especially when the sun was going down and the light was filtering through. I recently had this printed with the metallic finish and a black border. Makes the color really pop. It gets a lot of compliments. Glad you enjoyed it - and thanks for taking the time to comment!
