I thought this was such a stark little leaf all on its own near the park. The mud dried up around it and the sun was on its way out....so I took the pic.
The reason why the sunsets in the evening is because it wants to see the sunrise in the morning. I rise in the morning because I want to see them both. RvdB
Great job - love the placement of the leaf and the beautiful contrast of the color against the background. I would probably have cropped out the bottom left corner, but that's nit picking on my part. Thanks for sharing
Good idea. I feel that it is slightly overexposed and could perhaps improve with a little added contrast as fuels screen it tends to become a little grey and dull. Perhaps a closer crop might also help. Central subjects rarely look good, try cropping to place the leaf on one of the thirds lines, possibly the left so that the shadow balances the image.
