Leaf on Fence

Posted by Anita (West Nottingham, United States) on 4 December 2008 in Plant & Nature.

NEWS: I will be unable to post new images until I buy a new monitor. My old CRT died.

*****THANK YOU FOR VISITING ANITA'S PHOTOBLOG!*****

I welcome your honest critique, especially if they will improve my photography.

If I have made a mistake in a flower identification, please let me know!

A few words about the EXIF data, beginning in April when I began using Nikon D300 and the Sigma 105mm macro: My new camera and macro lens record the relative or effective f stop, not the one seen on the lens. For an explanation of this, go to the next to the last question at this site.

Beautifully composed, Anita ... I particularly like how the details in the leaf are juxtaposed against the lines/shapes/details in the fence ... and the bokeh is a nice subtle backdrop ... very nice ...

Very simple and rustic looking with that barbed wire fence. I like the composition. What kind of leaf is it? It's very unique looking.

@Russ Devan: Thanks, Russ. It is a Sycamore leaf. Look for them near water.
