He shall be like a tree

Planted by the rivers of water,

That brings forth its fruit in its season,

Whose leaf also shall not wither;

And whatever he does shall prosper.

Psalm 1:3

I placed a torch undernesth this fallen leaf to bring out the veins and colour. A wider beamed torch might have been more effective, but I didn't have one with me!

People are like dirt. They can either nourish you and help you grow as a person or they can stunt your growth and make you wilt and die. - Plato

Che colori però...

The leaf is actually not floating it's layed down on a black sheet of paper, the flash is making the illusion that it's floating. I erased the end of the stem to help with the effect.
