Sorry for deleting and re-doing this shot. As Rob and Rick said, the specs were distracting.
Handheld with ISO 200 and 300mm (x1.6).
It's a leaf floating on water ;o)
Thanks to all who view and comment!

Chris, the touch-up paid off. The clean, smooth water's surface provides a great background and base for the solitary leaf. Minimalistic and elegant. Great job.

Please, even if you don't visit my gallery, check out my "Faves".I've left them intact since day "1", and would like it if every image there got the attention they deserved.

Wow, this is excellent! I love the simplicity of this. The silver of the water and the copper of the leaf make for great contrast. Well done.

Reminds me of a fairy tale I read as a child about fairy princesses sneaking out of the palace down to an enchanted forest where the leaves of the trees were gold and silver and fruits were jewels. This leaf has fallen from one of those trees and floats on a clear crystal stream.

The simplicity of this is awesome. Personally I don't much care for the gray tones water, I feel it's just not "rich" enough for the beauty of the copper coloured leaf. But the photo creation itself is really well done. I like that a lot. Verena

We don’t make art to show someone what something looks like. All this requires is eyes (or a lens). Art is supposed to have meaning, emotion, power, or magic. Alan & Mario "FourThirds"
