The Leaf

I adore the textures etched into this weathered dying leaf.

Lines upon lines, filled with a treasure of textures.

I nearly passed it by.

But something made me stop and turn back.

Fortune Smiled.

 

 

 

The Leaf

Simplicity,

in monochrome.

Warmed with a soft sienna tone.

Hinting at the life lived;

Now fading slowly

Back to earth.

 

 

“The Leaf”  is a beautiful example I think,  of Wabi Sabi.

 

 

 

For the curious, I used my old Canon 600d with a Canon 100mm macro lens 2.8L

The shutter speed was at 1/200  the fstop at f5.6 and the ISO at 100

Fortune Smiled.
