A trio of leaves

[QuietOne]

OK, photographs of leaves.

I do like the middle one, wonderful light in that one

[QuietOne]

Yeah, it was the strongest of the pictures I took that day, at least as far as light was concerned.

I agree the 2nd one is best with that light, but I do like how the last one has the bottom leaf pretending to be a water droplet.

That one was the hardest for me to post process. I wanted to bring out the whorls without them slapping you in the face, without loosing the color and contrast, and without having the background get sharper. This was the best of the lot. The sun did not do nice things to the surface of some of the leaves that day.

Another vote for that beautiful lighting of the centre photo.
