Meldon, Dartmoor, Devon, UK
Walking through a small area of scrub and secondary woodland, I came across this remnant of autumn foliage. I arranged the branches to form a diagonal across the frame and shot wide open for shallow depth of field. I considered focus stacking to bring the leaves fully into focus, but the branches were moving in the breeze, so this probably wouldn't have worked. Simply stopping down didn't provide enough depth of field and I didn't like the effect on the background. Macro photography, I'm discovering, isn't easy.
