TURNING A NEW LEAF

Another picture in the Turning A New Leaf Series.

The cyclic regeneration of Life is the law of Nature.
Whatever is born must die to be reborn again.

The new fig leaf heralding the coming of the spring is like a newly born baby.

The three stages of life are manifest in the three leaves here -- the old, the not-all-that-young and the very young.

My imagination also sees the young leaf as a child in its mother's arms.

Hello Ram,
This is a very good narration of the cycle of life. The new is sharply in focus while the old is fading away. Interesting concept indeed, and I like the artistic execution here. With such a concentrated theme, a tighter composition would perhaps be more appropriate; e.g. cropping the right. There might be a dust speck on the sensor (see upper left corner, right above the leaf).
Best wishes,
Hakan

Hello Ram,
Beautiful capture as part of an interesting theme. Lovely sharp capture of this sprouting fig leaf, the blurred one behind reflecting the ambition of the young to become older, the mature one looking on.
Quite fun to put a little anthropomorphism in the changing wonders of nature and this shot certainly inspires one to do so.
TFS and take care,
Ivan

Hello Ram,
I like this picture with the two leaves embracing! Lovely green colours and sharp details. A little disturbing is the leaf on the
right which could be cropped out and carefully cloned away in the corner. (Is that allowed??)
Otherwise a very beautiful composition!
Many thanks and all the best, Ulla

Hello Ram

Lovely colours and forms in this posting. I also like the fact that one can almost sense the new leaves bursting with life in the shot. Textures great also.
