Green Leaves Of Summer

Challenge #31 in the Language Of Light series. Hosted by OldArrow.

Challenge has finished

Titled after the unforgettable theme from "The Alamo" (1960, Paul Francis Webster / Dimitri Tiomkin), this Challenge is about the green leaves, which keep us breathing. Simple theme. Make it interesting, though. Find a nice lighting, find peculiar surfaces... and do not forget to observe the simple rules.
