While walking in the dense growth of tress on a small hill, Shakar Parian in Islamabad, I saw the afternoon sunlight filtering through the trees and falling on these leaves illuminating their profile. Good thing I had my camera around!For PG101's "Selective Focus" Theme Challenge. HTD!

So many things to enjoy in this lovely image, Usman. The selective focus, of course. The light on the main subject, gently falling off. The echoing of form in the lower leaves. It all works beautifully. #9595472Marcie A. Fowler August 10, 2011
