I’ve always been fascinated by shadows, especially when they are full of life, despite not having anything there as is the case with these leaf shadows.

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!

I was really excited by the possibilities of these shots. I don't like any of them much, but I hope sometime I'll be able to go back & try again...I didn't have time to really get what I wanted, but it's a tantalizing taste of what's possible.

A leaf beetle (Chrysomelidae), maybe Zygogramma piceicollis. I'm not sure. Please help with ID.

An autumn leaf backlit by strong morning sun.

This is a shot I took last (July) year of a leaf hopper. It was overexposed and I have processed it gain to try and improve it.

It is probably cicadella-viridis

I think that's one of my best pictures... :)

Nothing too special, I just like it.

I don't kow how this leaf came to land here, but it looked a good subject. Just getting into this macro lark, a bit hit and miss sometimes.

The Attelabidae or leaf-rolling weevils are a widespread family of weevils. There are more than 2000 species.Some members of this family have long necks, and some of these are known as Giraffe weevils. The Attelabinae are the true leaf rollers. The female cuts slits into leaves to deposit her eggs, and rolls that part of the leaf in which the larvae will feed.
