Well, no sense denying it, fall is here. I went to the Washington Park Arboretum to take pictures. The light was perfect but I missed the morning dew by about an hour. I seem to recall that standard macro equipment for nature photography includes a spray bottle of water. If I'd had one, I could have put some extra water drops in this shot for good effect.
I really am not all that happy with this picture. It's just OK. I under exposed it trying to keep from losing the top of the loose leaf from being over exposed. Sometimes I wonder how I would do with a roll of film compared to my digital shots. HDR didn't work for me either due to the subtle wind that kept shifting the branches.
