Dual

Can't tell if this leaf is suffering from a disease, but even so, I think it's beautiful.

Metaphorically speaking, it addresses the dual nature of being alive - disease and health, good and bad, happiness and sadness - all coexisting.

Looks like Leaf Miners are more widespread than I'd thought. The little blighters have made a mess of some of my plants over time. I love this shot, and your narrative is a great complement.
