This leaf was discovered on the ground whilst on my morning walk. I was struck by the subtle patterns and variation in the colors.
I carried it home with me and took a couple of shots. I clamped the stem onto a stand so that the sun coming up transilluminated the leaf, while the trees in the bg were still in shade.

Post: slight crop for comp. selective sharpening.
As always, your advice is much appreciated.
There were some minor areas of imperfection/discoloration, but chose to leave them as found.
Thanks
