Still Leaf

A leaf from my neighbor's maple tree landed on a porous white washed rock in my garden. I loved the color and texture contrasts and immediately took a shot of it.

This is a still life of a still leaf.

Hope you like

    Very nice shot. I think part of the reason it is so attractive is the soft lighting - can you describe the lighting that you used to take this shot? DIffused sunlight, shade, flash what ever?

    Thanks
    Thank you all for your wonderful feedback.

    This photo was shot with a simple Sony PSC-72.

    Pathfinder--since it was taken a long time ago--if I recall correctly, there was use of a fill flash since the leaf and the rock were hidden under a rubellena, a short stringy palm tree and it was slighty shady.
