This type of shot was in my mind but hard to get, I do not know if it worked or not , So your comments will tell me what you think on this subject type of foto:
Its a great idea and it is a different view on a familiar subject. I too really like the effect the backlighting has on the leaves. Just one thing, the stem in the background is a little distracting, especially because of its colour, it is fighting the main subject for my attention. You did a good job on this, I know how frustrating it can be because earlier this month I was underneath a chestnut tree trying to shoot upward through the leaves into the blue sky and sun. I gave up after a few attempts, we were out on a walk and time was passing.
