Conrad, excuse me for commenting again, but I just can't get away from this one. I just love the colors, texture, lines and curves. Stunning.

Thanks again, Judith. You're excused. :) It's a straight photo, no alteration, using a 4x close-up lens on my Canon AE1. The leaf was so large I was able to block out the direct sun from my lens completely. Objectively I'd have to say it's one of my best shots, since it has won awards both in a local contest and at Picture.com (1st place medal). Just to document how good I think the photography is on this site, I'd be surprised to repeat that performance.

This was taken the same day as the previous one I just responded to. I was thrilled with both. They were taken on color film. #7252108
