What's eating me?

The sky was so interesting the past two nights. While I was out looking at it, I noticed the pattern in my ornamental plum tree leaves.
I really like the purplish tone you gave to this silhouette- it fits the subject so well. Not sure what's eating your leaves, but it appears to be very small! Nicely captured.

Nice detailing of leaves

@olivetreeann Thank you Ann. The leaves are a deep reddish purple and the sunset was very pink. No additional color work on this one (for a change). The only processing was to remove the wires from the sky, which I realize I did very sloppily.
@photographycrazy Thank you Bill.
@sudo Thank you Sudo.

Very lacy result

Lovely lacy pattern. Someone has had quite a feast here

Hmm. Not sure, but it looks like it was a tasty meal!

What a beautifully gentle sky! Really pretty, looks like a pink bundle of softness! I’ve seen that lacy pattern on leaves here as well. No idea what it is.

It doesn’t munch at the leaves in a biting chomp chomp chomp fashion, but rather nibbles at piece of the leaf at random, seemingly starting somewhere in the middle of the leaf and then darting off to a new spot.

It’s almost as if the insect doesn’t like the veins of the leaf, preferring the un-veined parts.

This is lovely. Makes for a beautiful abstract too in a closer crop

It is leaving a very pretty lace pattern whatever it is.

Someone is having a fine old chomp!

FAV I love the color is in this one. Fascinating patterns in the leaves although I am certain it cannot be good for them.

Makes for a striking image Kathy.

Thank you for your challenge. I had a Get Pushed a while back of Frozen and I chose flowers. So would Frozen Flowers be OK for you? I had such fun with this, hope you do too! https://digital-photography-school.com/photography-frozen-flowers/

Beautiful shot

The tree probably has enough leaves to spare a few to bugs.

Nice shot, I like the lacy patterned leaves
July 31st, 2023  
Nice details
July 31st, 2023  
Great shot and close up of those nice details on those lovely leaves

@randystreat Great use of the natural color then! And I didn't notice the wire work so don't worry about it. It looks fine!
July 31st, 2023  
@joemuli @Dawn @taffy I thought so as well.
@onewing I think something has found those leaves to be quite tasty. I probably need to be checking into what might be doing that before it's too late.
@jamibann I agree.
@cocokinetic Good observations to add to the information when I try to discover what the varmit is.
@rensala Thank you Renee.
@wakelys It is a pretty pattern.
@dkbarnett You're right about that.
@grammyn Thank you Katy. I hope it's not too serious of a problem.
@fbailey Thanks Felicity. Frozen flowers. Sounds like a good challenge for me.
@bkbinthecity Thank you Brian.
@tunia I hope so Tunia. I think I'm going to have to have a chat with the local agricultural extension agent
@kjarn Thank you Kathy
@craftymeg Thanks Meg.
@pyrrhula Thank you Ferry.

@haskar Thank you Hannah.

The colours are rather appealing being of similar hue and I enjoy the filigree patterns on the leaf.
