I love seeing the world through your eyes. You see beauty in everything and every photo I feel your passion and enjoyment including a simple leaf.
Great color shown with shading and great detail,
I like the black background which highlights the subject to it's fullest glory.
Very well done!

Lovely close up of this pretty leaf showing the autumn colours just starting to appear, Pat, with the early morning sun lighting it up. The black background really works very well to show this off to advantage. Excellent lighting and focus showing a beautifully crisp image. Great composition. Suzanne

Comment from seshadri_sreenivasan
A fine example of minimalist art. I like the way you have shown the sunlight on the single leaf keeping the background dark. It makes the leaf pop out of my screen. Overall a fine effort!

Yes, I can see the appeal here. Fabulous colours, and good use of light and shade. Great positioning too - a fitting final tribute to the leaf's time on Earth.

A good nature capture of the leaf.
Good sharp focus.
Nice perspective.
Nice details and textures.
Very good angle of view.
Nice backlighting forlight and dark interplay.
So, when a leaf falls, it doesn't say good-by... it just leaves.

Comment from Sean T Phelan
Cool,Pat!
As 'Autumn Leaf' pictures go this one is enjoyably Classy looking,my friend!
The leaf's semi-translucent property and it's setting against the rich black background makes the scene a very enjoyable one to behold! : )
