I was considering this one for the Jan FS but got something I liked even better yesterday, so up this one goes! I took it a couple of days ago around sunset. Parts of my neighbor's house tend to glow orange if the light is just right (it's actually a nice, subdued cream so it reflects well) and make a wonderful background. This is literally the last leaf left clinging to my Japanese Maple. I adore the texture and 3-dimensionality I got in the leaf, and the twigs leaning inward. Not cropped, BTW.
May have made entirely the wrong call with the FS entry, of course, but it's only my score I'm risking ;-)
I love the minimalist nature of the leaf against the abstract background. Our Japanese Maple lost its leaves ages ago. I think that it's probably just another plant that's succumbed to our poor gardening skills.
