Compost Pile

I'm in a much better photo mood today - thanks for your comments on yesterday's shot.

The weather was much better so there was light! I ventured outside and found the poinsettia plant I'd thrown in the compost covered in dew. I separated the leaf and played with my DOF to get this. Best viewed large against black.
