Hazelnut Leaf
Leaf of the American Hazelnut (Corylus americana) starting to show fall colors. The striking illumination is caused by backlighting from a low angle sun whose rays barely grazed the back of the leaf, highlighting only the parts that protruded downward the most: the veins and the lower part of the leaf.
