Thanks, John. I shoot everything here on our 3 acres, so unless I look close at everything, I don't get to shoot.. I look. [g]

I love the sculptural feel of the leaf, Charlie, and the curved trunk makes a great support - this is really well spotted. The detail of the leaf veins that comes through is excellent - just wonder if a touch more a touch brighter would be even better ? Whatever, this is a delight as far as I am concerned.

Thank you for your comment Ian. I have experimented with this image and liked it in monochrome also and post that version now. I'm unhappy with the bright area at the lower end of the leaf and haven't gotten it to look right to my eye yet. Any suggestions are very welcome. This is a link to a large version of this B&W version:

Hi Charlie

You captured this oak leaf in all it's beauty, before it;s demise. Love the exceptional mood, detail and light
