Macro DSLR Speed Challenge #91
Leaves

Autumn in the northern hemisphere brings vistas of colorful trees. We'll focus a bit closer, however, for this macro contest. :D Fall colors and live leaves are fine but not required, so as not to exclude our southern hemisphere neighbors!

Enter your best closeup of a leaf or leaves, whether from houseplant or wildflower, from tree or grass.

Standard Rules apply:
Photo Submissions:

1. Camera - Any Canon DSLR camera
2. Lens - Any lens, or attachment that can give Macro photos (ex. extension tubes, bellows, macro filters, reverse mounted lens and of course a true macro lens.).
3. Time - any on-topic photo taken at any time is eligible, although photos that have won other competitions should NOT be entered.
4. Size - Please see the Image posting rules.
5. Post-Processing - do whatever you like and the host will decide if it works.
6. Posting -
* ONE MACRO PHOTO per photographer in each challenge.
* Photo Name/Title in the message.
* Camera model & lens used in the message.
* Post brief Exif data including ISO, shutter speed and aperture used in the message.
* Notes - anything you feel you need to explain.
7. Commenting - No commenting during challenge. When the posting is closed and a winner has been declared, comments can be made in this thread.
8. Questions - Use PM
9. Have FUN!

One challenge every week, on the following schedule:

* New Topic - After winner is declared.
* Posting Starts - Right after topic is announced.
* Posting Ends - 6:00 PM Central Daylight Time Wednesday, September 29, 2010 . Winner will be announced shortly thereafter.
* Winner from this competition decides the theme of the next one (and judges it for a winner) after this competition is closed.

Nice work everyone!

Martin - I like the detail of the hairs & small droplets.
Jason - good entry, haven't seen artificial leaves with that much detail before.
John - nice: bright flaming red, lots of intricate texture too.
Lavanut - love the subtle lighting, good composition too.

Winner: Lavanut!

Thanks for the nod, Karl and for the comments everyone! It was fun playing with light on that one.

Jason, your "Imitation" shot was clever! I liked it. :)

Sorry I couldn't get the new challenge up before now. It was a busy day at work. It's up now, so I hope you all have fun with ... Something Old
