Skeletal Remains

For Macro Mondays theme 'Imperfection'.

 

I have thought about photographing a holly leaf skeleton for a while, but have been unable to find one that was undamaged. But this week's theme meant that breaks and gaps in the skeleton were desirable! The delicate structure of this decayed holly leaf has broken down in places, giving rise to 'imperfections' in the otherwise perfect lattice.

 

Photographed with my macro lens plus three extension tubes as a 9-shot focus stack.
