Leaves on Asphalt

[Jman13]

Wasn't sure whether to put these here or in Nature, but here seemed better.

Walking to my car at lunch today, I found two sets of leaves that were wonderfully arranged...just naturally sitting in these great arrangements. Only real post processing here is a levels adjustment to set the black point and vignette. These are all with my E-P1 and Voigtlander 40mm f/1.4 Nokton @ f/4. Frankly, I'm really happy with these shots. For something that was so randomly found, I really like them...especially the last one.

I like them. The colors are nice against the dark bg

Interesting captures for sure. I was going to at first comment that the leaves were arranged a little too perfectly to look natural. Then I read your comments about them falling this way. Am I ever glad I didn't throw that comment out now... :cool: :lol:

Thanks, everyone. I agree that the third is the best. The more I keep looking at it, the more I like it too. :)
