Captive

I found a leaf, long trapped in my back yard gate. It had been a while since I could play with textures in PS, so that was fun.

PS... I edited the cr*p out of this shot, there is a theme, so here goes.

Gearing up for the holidays, so off we go. ;) Thanks for taking time to visit. Each is a gift of time.

Wonderful simplicity. You cannot really tell that you edited this too much, it is very subtle.

This is quite elegant. I like the diamonds in the fencing and the way they contrast with the captured leaf.
