Old Leaf by kwind

Old Leaf

I took this a couple of days ago (I'm not feeling well and I didn't like any of the pictures I took today). I taped a dried out leaf to the window on a grey day.
Very cool way to get high key. Did you dry this leaf on purpose or just find it? Pretty either way.

@archaeofrog I dried it on purpose. At the time I wasn't sure what I was going to do with it but I brought a bunch into the garage and let them dry out a week or so ago.

@kwind Cool! I have a few pressing in books at the moment. No real purpose for them either.

Beautiful shot. I love the simplicity of yellow on white and the detail in the lead itself.

Hmm didn't try this today when I tried some leaf shots. Been having some blah photo days myself. Loving your rainbow challenge. Will definately look at the monthly challenges for next month.
