I was very fortunate this morning to catch some rare leaf lightning. For this presentation I boosted contrast and added some vibrance.

5D, 70-200 @ 106, 1/45 @ f/4.5, ISO 500, circ polarizer, crop to squarish format

Well done Wayne. Very nicely seen and captured. Leaf has a wonderful bronzing colorization and the light reflection adds a shimmering that is to die for.
