Well seen and captured image of the decomposing leaves and resulting oil, Gary. I find it neither revolting or beautiful, but an interesting examination of the process, and artistic in form.
I encourage everyone to click on the "exhibition" link in Gary's post to view the web presentation of his exhibit. Jaw-dropping images.

A bit of ` art brut ' I would say, Gary. Not beautiful but not perhaps meant to be. Expressive, though, definitely. Powerful textures and a strong sense of decay make for a strong image.

A sound image, not pretty, but authentic. And death is a comma or the period at the end of life, depending on your faith and belief.

Gary - Nicely seen and reminds me of Mike Moats' photos on identical theme. I agree with your interpretation. I like that oily blue sheen. There can be beauty in such photos if leaves with better shapes (like Oak, Maple etc) are selected.

Gary: Like Ram I remember Mike Moats' images and that was my first impression with this. Good vision. On a technical note, I wonder what if any effect a polarizer might produce. >=))>
Bill: A CP was used in this shot {Gary}
