The Lonely Leaf

Challenge #5 in the Creation! series. Hosted by James A Rinner.

Challenge has finished

We have all seen it at one time or the other; a single leaf that seems to make a statement or just strikes us as unique. Because that first visual image caused us to shoot the leaf please keep post processing to a minimum. IF YOU ENTER THIS CHALLENGE PLEASE VOTE! If the voters are too few then an entry can win by just a few of the submitter's friends voting for it.
