Some of our pear leaves have a lot of color and some a bit more subtle. Thought this one was aging well. All comments welcome.>=))>

A lovely leaf abstract, Bill.  Interesting how the decay follows the veining so well.  Nice colors and lovely detail.

I agree, Bill, that this leaf is aging very well.  I like the comp, the beautiful pastel colors, and the excellent detail.

Excellent edge to edge detail, Bill, to go with the nice colors and angled comp. Fine study of the structure to go with the nice color.

Interesting. Beautiful as a subject for photography it is, but thought provoking as well. Dennis' remark on the decay following the veining is important. Adding to that, note the decay begins more in the smaller veins than the larger veins. As the smaller veins dry up first, the decay begins there first.
