Love the colours in this photo, and the focus on the leaf is great. Wonderful shot

lovely work, the colours are what captured me the most, can I ask how you get such amazing colours?

I really appreciate your comment. Thank you.
I just love colourful photos (specially strong and bright colours ^^). There are some ways how I captued them:

nĀ°1. I always shoot on a sunny day or in an area with lot of lights.
nĀ°2. Prepare the setting of my camera (Nikon D40 or D70): I set the "Optimize image" (in "Shooting Menu") to "Vivid" or "More Vivid" to increased the contrast and saturation of the photo.
nĀ°3. I also sometime set the metering to measure the brightness only on the focus area (the subject of the shot)
nĀ°4. I'll edit the photos in Photoshop to fix the colours, the contrast etc


I hope that help you

For someone 'quite new' to photography, you've grasped the concept very well! As someone stated, the colours are lovely, and I love how I can see all the details on the leaf.
