WC #307 Curly Beech Leaf

On my way down from a sunrise visit to an Adirondack summit, the texture of this sunlit beech leaf on the trail caught my eye. I sat right down in the middle of the trail (no other hikers that early) to shoot this. I wonder if anyone else noticed it before it was trampled later that day.

Very nice Wayne, I like the colors and texture, and I especially like the way they curled up, it gives it more depth. Good eye.

I like it, Wayne. Nice textures and lighting and the curl in the leaf adds depth. :smile:

Wayne, I realy like the focus on that long leaf in the center.

The whole image is great and I just know if I came along with a foot, all of the leaves would crunch; they are so crisp!

Very nice.
