I spotted this hazel leaf lying on our lawn as I hung the washing out on the line this afternoon and thought it might make a good autumnal image. I decided to treat it very simply, using some white paper as a background and illuminated with just the overcast light coming through my music room window.

How Pretty. karmankwarner · 2011-10-29: 09:43

This is perfect Helen. Solar!!!! We are getting six inches of snow here today. No hanging out wash here! danrav · 2011-10-29: 10:06

I approve of the simple treatment... it's so crisp that it looks like it's levitating off the background davids · 2011-10-29: 10:08

Nice textures, Great macro, autumn colours Well done helys · 2011-10-29: 10:35

It's simply magnificent, the texture and the colors contrasting magnificently well with the white bottom. It adds to the luminosity josy63 · 2011-10-29: 10:46
