This is a leaf or leaves I shot in a swamp the other morning. I like the color and texture of this shot.

Very cool, Todd. Again, I like the metallic look. I also like the comp with the lines radiating from from the right third. Excellent detail as well. :toast:

The title works well Todd. I like the light play/refraction on the water that swirls over/across the decaying leaf.
I can just see the "swamp thing" rising from the mire :smile:
Well composed, interesting closeup! :toast:

The comp is great, with the leading lines and the placement of their nexus in the lower right third, and the texture is exceptional. The color not so much, but that is a personal feeling. It is probably fitting for the subject.
