A Leaf...

Description

"A leaf fluttered in through the window this morning, as if supported by the rays of the sun,
a bird settled on the fire escape, joy in the task of coffee, joy accompanied me as I walked. " ~ Anais Nin

From the series "Under the Influence of Light"

Thank you so much Cathy! It is the leaf of a rose I shot a few weeks ago - it turned a beautiful yellow/brown color, and it was shot with one Britek studio light(1,000) and soft box. Thanks again! #1191613
