Description
I picked up this maple leaf on our walk yesterday so I could shoot it for the July Photography Challenge. The topic this month is "Textures."
Check it out! This isn't a contest ... just a way for us to stretch as artists and shoot things we might not normally shoot.

A perfect leaf...memories of when I was a child
Ahhh! textures eh? What a good idea that one, I missed a few, I may have to nip in there auntie :} Love the subtle smoothness yet detailed leaf against the leather. Great work my friend.
Perfect image!!!

Very Lovely!!
Ah - a perfect maple leaf - not a flaw on it! Wonderful shot, Tara! I'll have to look into that challenge - those are fun.
Superb capture for the challenge Tara. I can just say to everyone it is wonderful to partake in the challenge and there is so much variety of different captures of textures to be seen. Feel welcome to partake and look in the photography forum for the texture challenge. God Bless.
Thanks for the link again Tara, I must try it out this time, for sure - it's a subject I really do like ... and your textures here are awesome! (and I thought, I may never use this word here) LOL BB
Ahhhhhhhh Zooming in is even better can see all the textures very well even the little veins in the leaf...... good luck in the contest this looks like a winner to me Hugs Susan~
Gorgeous on black.
Lovely shot Tara.
Beautiful - the leaf seems to be glowing with it's own inner light...
Oh fabulous! Will you let us 3d artists play with it and put it on our 3d trees?
wonderful photo and presentation Tara!
Wonderful
Awesome seeing this a bit bigger than in the Challenge. Amazing texture Tara and well seen.
Wow, this is a beautiful artwork.There is a lot of work and thought behind this shot. The result is: Fantastic
Wonderful capture of this beautiful leaf!! Great leaf and backround textures!
Wow, well done you! Great job on this!
When I was young, We had to draw that kind of leaf :)
Sweet! Off to look at the comp now...
cool shot
a simple leaf tells of a story so long ago past as the present meets warm hugs, Linda Kaye
Beautifully simple.
Beautiful aren't they.. A lovely idea for an entry.. Natural.. Perfect! Rob
Beautiful!
This is wonderful; a still life that comes alive!!
Amazing, and if I'm able, I'm gonna make at least one challenge entry before this month is over. Ah, there's drama this month: the kind that means an end of an era, and that is a good thing. Anyway: I love this image; it's quite elegant and it reminds me of the leaves I saw scattered on various tables in the Czech Republic. Good memories. Brilliant work, and the crackled texture of what appears to be a book cover is completely compelling, as is the leaf itself. I love the wonderful juxtaposition. The background is just as important as the leaf itself. Super!
