Leaf in Shadows

While I shot some much more macro versions of this, I chose to post this one because I really like the feel the shadows of the branches framing the leaf in the snow. Some dirt specs are visible I think... but shot with H2 at ISO-80, 1/1000th at f7.1 in macro mode. Just cropped slightly from the TRC. Thanks for looking and any C&C welcomed! Larger posted too.

Bill:
Interesting how the leaf seems to be floating. The snow looks very grainy and yet the leaf is fine.

Thanks Gary, yes the snow IS grainy after the constant melt/freeze of the past week. Appreciate your comment.
