Memento Mori | A Fallen Maple Leaf

I photographed this leaf exactly where it came to rest on some of Donna’s crimson Chrysanthemums. Just after a session of shooting photos of a military airplane, I looked down to see exactly this near our walkway.

 

Then I used Snapseed to work on the image. No filters were used whatsoever, but I did work on the leaf with Snapseed’s Brush Tools. The leaf has ended up looking a lot like a watercolor. That’s a happy accident. PhotoToaster was used for the border.
