This morning gave me a grate chance to take pics of the frost

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.

I quite liked this; the best of four or five attempts. Barely cropped, and clone stamped to remove background distractions (window frame, etc). Someone was watching over my shoulder as I took my shots, and after I moved I saw him trying to take exactly the same photo. Imitation really is the sincerest form of flattery.
