Leaves

Challenge #3 in the Landscapes series. Hosted by pcassel.

Challenge has finished

Pictures where leaves are the object of interest. We see many pictures this time of year where forests seem ablaze with color from the leaves of trees such as maples, but the object of the images is the forest rather than the leaves. Here the subject is the leaf itself or the leaves. Voting should be biased toward the least PP and the most revelation of the spirit of a leaf.

Processing rules:

HDR and/or stacks ok. No heavy manipulation other than those two techniques. Sharpening, cropping, curves, levels, most filters all OK.

Capture date rules:

No restrictions.

Additional rules:

This has to be a leaf or leaves as the object of interest. A picture of a dog playing in a stack of leaves, for example, will be DQ'd because the purpose would be to 'steal' a place by using dog (or other similar) sympathy among the voters. So please, let's stick to leaves and not images like a cute infant holding a leaf in wonderment. That's for a different challenge.
Images for this Challenge should not have been used previously in any other DPREVIEW Challenge. Thanks.
