Congratulations Kaushik Balakumar!
Fire

Found this interesting leaf which reminded me of fire. Placed the leaf against another maroon leaf for a contrasting BG.
Placing again was tricky. After several thoughts, I finally decided to place it in such a way that the veins in the BG leaf diverge/spread outwards from behind the main yellow leaf.
