The golden light

After attending the macro boot camp with Mike Moats I went out to shoot in a local nature preserve in Farmingtonhills, MI. Got a few good shots. Thanks again Mike had a good time. The picture is a wet leaf that had fallen on a broad leaf forest plant. Not very good at identifying my plant life its something I will have to work on. The sun was peaking through the clouds. After waiting for what seemed to be forever I held up a gold reflector to the plant and hit the shutter. I played with the sliders in lightroom 3 until I thought it looked good.
Camera specs:
Canon 7D

The golden leaf stands out so nicely against those darker leaves behind. The touch of light showing from behind the leaves is slightly distracting. Other than that small point, the image works well. Nice !
