Captured

I saw this leaf stuck in the wire chair as I was bringing wood in the house today and immediately thought of the word "captured". It's really stuck in there.
so much contrast, brilliant color with the colorless background, wild and soft and natural with hard and man made and unyielding. Very good, capture here

wow! i am amazed that you actually restrained from processing this one. would've made a wonderful abstract! but the colours are beautiful the way they are, aren't they? the poor thing's not going to get off there unless you remove it or there's a really strong wind. nice find, ann.

@pandorasecho Thank you Dixie! It was just begging for a picture.
@summerfield Thank you Vikki! Well, I did process it a little bit. I put a soft focus on it as well as a focal black and white. But because of the chair it looks very natural as if I had a fancy camera where you could go that way with the shot depending on the lens you'd use.

@mzzhope Thank you Hope! It really caught my eye.

I like that the leaf looks like it has hands reaching to get 'unstuck'.

love it! but thinking out loud it could be included in this week's theme-together!
November 26th, 2013  
Really like this, the pink against the blue grey, the strong pattern broken up.
November 26th, 2013  
lovely Pov
November 26th, 2013  
Great find and capture. I really like the pattern and textures together :-)

I like this shot -- aside from it being visually pleasing, it is metaphorical on many levels.
November 26th, 2013  
Love the colours and contrasts.
November 26th, 2013

November 27th, 2013  
Really cool contrast between the constant patterning and the stuck leaf!

Thank you everyone! Wow- I did not expect such a great response as I really took the shot "at the last moment"! So glad you enjoyed it and saw much more than a leaf stuck in a chair.

@maggiemae It's too cold outside for that!

November 28th, 2013

Looks nice in the two tone chair..of is the blue on account of the light. great find and picture.
