The still life has a very satisfying classical feeling to it, well done. And the second image, of the leaves and grate, almost seems to hover. Nice! Very nice! I wish you a very creative New Year, Alan.
Thanks Lynn, and of course, the same New Year’s wish for you.
In the second image, I too was struck by the hovering nature of the leaves. This shot is an inversion of brownish leaves that had fallen onto a sidewalk grate. In the original, they appear to be stuck on the ground, but in the inversion it feels as if they’re in flight, escaping from a window. I’ll leave it to color theory scholars to explain the shifting perspectives — or anyone else who’s visiting and wants to chime in :)
Isn’t that interesting! Even in another color, they might still have that “in-flight” look as long as there’s lots of light coming from the grate like there is here. A successful inversion. :-)

Yes, I think you nailed it Lynn: It’s the light coming from the grate, not so much the leaf color, that produces the feeling of flight.
Thanks for solving that issue.
