Nice frame!, even it is not so sharp.

Hi Jorge,
Quite an unusal composition. A good experiment as well. The dynamism is great here!

That's was what I was searching for. Today it's very windy here, I'll try something similar. I'm wondering what a deeper DOF could bring, and even some panning on a single leaf. There is some noise on the background, and the bokeh is a bit strange, maybe due to the linear shape of the objects out of focus. Nice experiment.

Hello Jorge,

That's a very wicked looking shot. I also had no idea you had the 70-200mm f/2.8L. I hope to have that one by the end of next year. So what caused this mess of leaves to be in the air? I really like how you isolated the couple of leaves. This is a nice abstract kind of shot.

Well done,

Mel

I really enjoy this idea and the result you get. A lot of energy and moves here and an interesting use of the dof. I don't konw what to think about the sharpness/definition. Not so bad for that purpose.

Hello Jorge,
Nice idea for a lively fall photo. The random leaves swirling in the air give the scene a three-dimensional feeling, as if the leaves in the front are coming at us. We can look at this scene and feel the wind. :-)

Hello Jorge,
I love this photo of yours! It is simply marvelous! You shot from your gut and used your instincts. This is certainly one of the most creative and unusual photographs on the TE website. Congratulations for "thinking outside of the box"!!

An unusual shot Jorge,I like it a lot.You have managed to convey the feeling of being part of this windy day.I like the slight blur of the leaves, it is a lovely abstract piece of art-work.
Tfs, regards Jean.

Hola Jorge! Excellent! In the miniature I thought it would be a spider-web, but now I see surprised what it is. That's was a great idea, and a good realization. The large aperture to increase speed has also given you a very nice DOF.
Great work! Keep it going!
