Backlit Leaf

I found this leaf in the garden and thought I would have a go at backlighting it on a light box.

I love the detail of the veins.

What wonderful textures on this leaf. What is the cause of that blue halo around the leaf?

[Babs]

@deborah63 I think it is caused by the fluorescent light.

[Connie Little]

Great idea to backlight this great looking leaf to highlight the textures and details in it. Works well on a white background.

Beautifully captured Babs, all the detail comes out really well using the light box background:)
