Playing With Light and Leaves

Shot with Nikon D700 Nikkor-H 300mm/f4.5 Both of these were shot through a double window so there is a bit of smearing present but I think it adds to the images. As always downloading for best viewing is recommended.

Was there a screen as well as a window? I ask because the second shot has a rather interesting cross shape in the Bokeh. Or is the Bokeh with this lens always like that? It is interesting.
I would probably dehaze in PP. Just to see what it would look like.

I love backlighting and your isolated branch in #1, with dark background, is very eye-catching. #2 seems more like natural framing, but there is not a subject in the frame. Cropping into two separate photos (vertical, where the break is at bottom) kept the soft, appealing backlighting and gave me very pleasing gentle lines.
I'm also curious if there was a screen because I achieved similar cross-hatching recently shooting through a screen door. Very cool.

No screen; I saw the cross shape that you refer to as well, but have no idea where it came from, not characteristic of this lens. I did a dehaze with both these shots.

Well, from my reaction and the reaction of Linda (who should be busy getting someone to start that landscape forum
) find out how it happened and repeat it. It is very subtle and cool!Nov 29, 2018 09:32:45 #

Thanks Linda, to satirize Marshall McLuhan: The frame is the subject. And no, no screen, no idea what caused those crosses.

I like both of these; but my preference is the first one. I must admit, I've never thought of using the framing as a subject. It works! You did keep something within the frame; but it is out of focus and makes the viewer's eye return immediately to the framing which has really good detail. Very creative.

Thank you Erich, #1 is my favorite of the two also; but I really do like the novelty of #2, including the strange bokeh with the crosses.

Lovely pieces.
Also, they relate to recent discussions about composition. In the first one, the rightish placement of the branch is compensated by the psychic space of its pointing and growth. In the second, the very good type of composition, circular, is used, used "rule of thirds" and "left/right placement" begone!

Why thank you Bob. I'm glad you like them. I have to admit that composition for me is almost a subconscious process. It either looks right/interesting or it doesn't. I don't know if that's a good thing or not.
