I love the negative space here! Very pleasing! Nice shapes. I think I might have liked for all of the chrome to be in focus. The leaf adds some interest but then also detracts from the clean lines.

thanks

First I wish I had some color film that time, and second I wish I had focused on the chrome, as you pointed out. I think the AF had trouble on the reflective chrome surface; I probably should have had my friend put his finger on the subject and take it away, so that I could get a lock.
