Dancing Leaf

This is multiple exposures of the same leaf, combined in Photoshop.

This leaf was somehow suspended from a branch. With each breeze, it would dance wildly.

Specific Feedback Requested

Any feedback would be great! Specific questions: Did I combine the images smoothly? Is the green leaf in the top right distracting? Is the processing too heavy-handed?

Technical Details

The different images had slight variations in shutter speed, but most of them were taken at 1/5 sec, f8, ISO 800.

Hi Amy, lovely image with nice motion. I like the soft background. The green leaf isn’t too distracting but you could darken/desaturate it or crop it out. Not sure how many exposures you took for the main dancing leaves but you could take 10 or more images and then combine them in Photoshop to give more movement.

I like how the leaves feel like they are falling. Nice work!
