Thats beautiful, I like the black background, brings out the colour of the leaves. And I also like the position of them. Good job. The shadows on the leaves look nice.

Carlos, you know I usually crit more but on this, there is just one word: perfect. Well, there are other words as "stunning" as well - I'll have to overhink that

Beautiful work Carlos, one of your best. I love the concept, the title, and the colors. Just wonderful.

Im going to make like if you are not related to me in order to be completely honest with you............ This is a top quality artwork..... The concept behind this is so strong and well acomplished.... The movement, the pose.... Everything is just well structured here.... Great Conceptual Photo! Also an Excellent Tecnique as usual.... Amazing Lighting and Vibrant Colors.... +10/10

Lovely work

Wow. I always love your work!
Top points, as usual!

Love how you use the dark background to make your subjects 'pop'. Very nice shot overall! Max for you.

Very nice Carlos! Simple yet very effective. The positioning of the leaves adds character. Great job once again.

this is amazing! perfect contrast with the background and very impressive subject

Curious what you used for the background? Great lighting and exposure, lovely colours as always!!!! If I could remember that saying about simplicity and mastery I would type it right here....

Superb work Carlos!!

Hey Peter... exitium2000....I use sometimes a board painted black mate (Dull)....or a piece of black clothing ( choose one with small porus)...I guess you may try also a dark black paper (non reflecting)....Needless to say that sometimes you have to "heal" some spots to make the background even...Most of the time I use natural soft light by a window....but this one I took it in my clinic beside a Fluorescent light on the ceiling....Tripod...Speed 1/4 sec..I use full manual F8...and change speed until the higlights are not washed...I did it there because I found the leaves on the parking lot...and I couldn't wait to get home....I guess people thought I was crazy picking up little leaves from the floor!....Thanks for your comment....Glad to share with you little tricks....I use F8 because is the smallest aperture in my camera...I wish I could use F22...like with my old Canon FTQL

I really like this composition. The colors are wonderful and the leaves really do look like they are dancing! Great idea.

Simple and effective Carlos. Great lighting and focus. Well done!

OH MY GOD!!!
Papito...first I want to say I am SORRY for being so late,,,
I had a lot of things to do a couple of days ago...

Second...woa....I love tango...and this one it looks like people in love were dancing... OH MY GOD....BIG THANK YOU,,,BIG HUGE HUG for you Papito!!!

Thank you for being so so so so very nice to me here, and thank you for sharing me a lot of you...this is just...unbelieveable sweet of you...!!!

Thank you I wish I could meet you in person and say this personally to you
Take care Papito!!!

Another winner, Carlos. The only very slight suggestion I would make would be to move the leaves just a little closer to the center. I agree with your decision to not center the shot (a dead center composition is usually weaker in a shot like this), but I find the vast emptiness to the left a little distracting.

Amazing. I like idea of this photo. Well done Madanapale !!

very good work Carlos, colors and lightning are impressive, i like this one

Another beautiful portrait from you Carlos. This is stunning. I enjoy the texture and colors in the foreground. The lighting shows off highlights and shadows in a very subtle way. The black background brings these characteristics so elegantly to the foreground. My only crit ... and a minor one, is that the leaf stems are a little out of focus. Wonderful and creative work.

Lovely!

oh wow, it does look like a tango!!! Talk about creativity, carlos......this is amazing......definitely makes me want to dance............
I didn't know you liked tango, fretty........
