winter leaf

and a little bit of bokeh

Posted for macros-2016 and technique 54 and seen along the old railway track while walking with Jinks.

A woodpecker was pecking in the distance and a robin kept teasing me by flying down to the ground and then off again - but I got a leaf!

lovely detail on the leaf

[Jonathan Darrell]

A great capture of something simple and easily missed, but beautiful.

[Disha Parekh]

Lovely details and textures in the leaf and stems. Love the colours too.

[Julie F]

Well seen, with nice natural colours and composition.

[Babs]

Lovely detail. Hope Jinks has recovered from his latest surgery now.

@frankhymus

Oh thanks, Frank - I do sometimes forget about keeping non-words together as words in tags!

@frankhymus

Thank you. Yes, all is well and I am excited at the prospect of a talk at our photography group next week by a lady professional portrait photographer, hoping to pick up more tips for my Haze's-strangers portrait project.

[Richard Hickey]

Fantastic picture.

[Lady Magpie (Heather)]

Lovely capture, I think it's days are over.

[Nicole]

very pretty!

@quietpurplehaze Well, good luck with the workshop. I hope one of her big tips is "move in close." Don't be afraid even to clip some of the top head and hair. I got clued into this by watching television shows. Seldom is ever the total figure ever shown. Even the whole face...

[LaLa]

I'm liking the detail in this.

[Jenfurj]

Love the different textures & lines.

[Deni]

Lovely detail and POV.

[Linda Plummer]

Great looking dead leaf. Hoping spring is right around the corner.

[Tom]

Gsreat textures, detail and bokeh
