Taken while exploring an area strewn with granite rocks in search of a "Weston" type image. These leaves were really delicate, and the canopy of trees was open at just the right place to let the sunlight through unimpeded. It may sound corny, but when I turned and saw these and the light on them, I gasped with delight...
I processed this at the very last minute and wish now that I'd chosen a different title... maybe something that reflects how (at the right distance) these look like three birds at rest.
A couple of people commented on the color tone. I used one of the "coffee" presets in Silver Effects Pro.

Beautiful. You have a masterful handling of the software to bring this to life - and I agree, it very much does look like birds having their afternoon chat, doesn't it? A wonderful "found" shot!
