A single splotched red maple leaf sits on a bed of brown oak leaves.   I'm sure there's some profound theme or social statement here - but I don't have a clue what it might be.  I just took the photograph because I liked the colors and textures and lighting.  Maybe that's enough.

This was an upside down photograph.  I wanted to shoot straight down at the leaves to preserve the flat field of view, but in my first attempt, I noticed I was casting a shadow on the photo.  I went and stood on the opposite side to take the picture.   When I got the film back,  I rotated it for the orientation I wanted.   Pretty sneaky, huh?
