Even though you used some black matte for the bg, it looks almost dark green as if this was set in natural surroundings. Love the rim light and the warm tones. Oh yeah, and the framing is excellent!
Roy, I love the Fall feel of this shot. Beautiful colors, lots of detail and a well executed shot. Thanks for sharing your studio and lighting with us too.
This was executed in my makeshift studio using: - A metal clothes rack - black masking tape to mount the leaf - Black matte board as background - 4 250w halogen lamps positioned 45 degrees about 3-4 feet away from the leaf, 2 on each side.
