Through the Cracks

This is one of my favorite photos.  It is so simple but the contrast and the detail in the leaf is just perfect.  I was sitting at my uncles house when I saw this leaf on the ground.  I picked it up and admired its detail.  I tried to capture it on the table with a reverse lens mount image, but it just didn’t give me the right focus.  Then I held it up.  It was strikingly beautiful.  Holding my camera in one hand and the leaf in the other, I captured what you see here.

This image more than any other I have taken reminds me that you don’t need to go far to get a great shot.  If you are open to thinking differently then a whole new world to capture opens up to you.

Cheers!
