Winter Leaves-Repost

I've been trying this technique of placing items on the glass of my scanner and scanning them into a .jpeg file. I had only recently learned about this process and wanted to give it a try.

I picked leaves from my garden this morning ... Columbine, Lavendar and an Old-Fashioned Rose and placed them on the scanner glass. The only processing that was needed was to resize and crop the image, no other processing. I'm finding this to be a very interesting way to capture images, although not everything can be placed on a scanner.
