Leaf Left Unturned

From my lunchtime walk in the Lehigh Parkway, Allentown, Pa.

IR image made with my IR-converted Canon Rebel XT and Canon 24-70mm f/2.8L lens, handheld.

1/15 sec @ f/16; ISO 100; +1/3 EV; Custom WB; FL 62mm (could have made it easier on myself by boosting the ISO and opening up the aperture a bit to get more shutter speed)

Background desaturated. Leaf color darkened in levels. Kicked up a bit in Topaz Adjust.

Ed, The IR really adds to this. I like the comp. The leaf has a very nice curvature to it. Well done.

Ed, Striking image with much impact. Very well handled...
