Our glass subject turned out to be a pretty difficult one, not many people dared to take upon it.

So let's drop it a notch and shoot some less transparent objects: leaves.

The leaves (or a bunch of pine needles) should be the primary subject of the picture.
A single leaf is preferable, but several OK too, as long as you can differentiate them clearly.

Remember, we're not talking about the foliage - we're shooting individual leaves!

As always: fresh pictures, moderate post-processing.
For the rest of the basic rules and index please check out this sticky.

Let's leaf it up! :-)

and see if there are any leaves there....

bugger, I have leaves but again shot in the wrong time...
I went out in frost and cold to snap leaves, but the challenge comes 3 weeks to late...

Pine needles? Bushes? There must be some leaf-like things around, no?

Nice one, too bad it's not fresh...

Any chance of getting out and reshoot?

nope, the frost is long gone, and I doubt that we will get more frost. If so, I could go back and reshoot. I know where they are... grin

Thank you for the entry and welcome to the Class!

As a side note, we're all casual here, no need for EXIF unless somebody specifically asked for it

Cheers!

Welcome to Dgrin and welcome to the Class!

You've chosen a right place for your first post:-)!

Thank you very much for your entries!

In fact the second one would be superb - provided there was no distracting, oof and rather bright stem just in front of the camera...

We got a little bit last weekend- these were taken a few days early but here you go.

Are these leaves though?

Oh yeah- the fire in my previous post was created by me- no blower and too lazy to pick the leaves out of the rocks. Just burn em.
