that which remains

one more for "get pushed"... this weeks challenge set by Junko (@jyokota): "capture a macro nature shot and post it without editing anything", to "use (my) camera settings to produce (the) image instead of relying on post-production editing"

this is a dead leaf... sitting on my chess board... lit by my faithful ikea lamp... as i was once again deprived of daylight time for crawling around in the yard...

shot in jpeg... no post processing... i was working on another faux double exposure shot tonight but it didn't come out right and i am too tired to try again...

i seem to have fallen appallingly behind in the commenting department... hoping to have time tomorrow night to get caught up with everyone... happy Friday!
Love the fallish tones. Very nicely done, my friend!

It's a great macro and the lighting makes it all quite mysterious. I thought it might be an insect wing until I read your commentary. Have a good weekend!
