Well of course a very nice collection of macro leaf photos...
Congrats to all for participating :)

Here are my picks for the top three......

3rd place goes to "mapple red" by Daniel2000
Beautiful Maple Color... but the white space at the top.... brought it to 3rd

2nd place goes to "A Drop of Fall" by lavanut
Beautiful combination of colors accented with the drop.. Well Done!

However my favorite is....

1st place goes to "summer is gone" by Warl0rd
A beautiful display with colors on a usually colorless item, I almost didn't pick this as it really isn't a leaf but it was just the best to my eyes! Well done!

Warl0rd as the winner you get to pick the next macro topic and judge the winner. If you have any question on how to start the next macro challenge etc.. please PM me

Again congrats to all!!

I object on the winner selection, there is no leaf in the pic, just seeds... (joke  :p)

congrats to Warl0rd
thanks for third place, (the white space was volontary, to see a bit of the edge of the leaf, should have cropped it out then... ;) )

It just kept making my eyes keep going to the white area.... (in my opinion darker or black would have looked better).
Of course its just my opinion and your photo looked great :)

Congrats, WL! Looks like maple was a favorite subject, in one form or another. I see those things EVERYWHERE in my yard in the spring. I have 2 big sugar maples in my front yard.

Thanks for the nod for 2nd John!

Nice shots to all!
