fantastic capture and composition jason, love the colours!
Jason Asher replied
Cheers mate, glad you like it. It’d be one of my favorites if not for the leaf in the foreground!
fatdade
nah dude, that’s what gives it such great depth, you have foreground, midground and background! perfect!!
Jason Asher replied
Well cheers mate, appreciated :)
Rochelle Buckley
Wow, the colours in this capture are so vibrant. awesome.
Jason Asher replied
Thanks! I’m still annoyed at that bloody leaf in the foreground though! Such is life :)
Rochelle Buckley
I think it gives the shot more depth.
Jason Asher replied
Yeah I suppose, just a little distracting. I’m doing the over-critical thing. Cheers :)
Rochelle Buckley
yes, I think you are doing what I do :)

Cool Shot Jason. The grass ? We take what we can get, right Congrats on the feature!!! I wonder if they even noticed the blade of grass you’re so concerned with or if it was just accepted as part of making the capture “natural”. Easy for me to try to advise/console others along these lines, but as photographers/artists, I’m sure most of us are just as hard on ourselves or, at least we often find ourselves wishing the shot was just a “little bit” different!!
Excellent work Jason!!
Jason Asher replied
You’re completely right John. The blade of grass looks natural, but I can’t help but wish it wasn’t there and I had the detail of the claw on the log instead. Cheers for the kind words John, you hit the nail on the head.
