As promised for this week’s photo challenge, I have had my camera nearby and an appropriate lens attached, so this morning I went for a short walk in the Oxbow Wildlife Refuge, which is close to my normal morning commute.

The simple leaf stands out against its background in the quiet morning, as the green is beginning to show up around us.
For details on this weeks challenge, please check out Tuesday Photo Challenge – Green.
Hope you enjoy!
Technical Data
This photo was captured with a Canon EOS 5D Mk III using an EF 100 mm f/2.8 lens. Exposure settings were 1/100 second at f/13 and 400 ISO. Some minor cropping was done in the OS X Photos app, as I didn’t have my own system nearby (I may just present a slightly better adjusted version later, but I do like the softness of this image).

I love the simplicity of this shot.
Thank you very much, Ann! I find that ofttimes keeping an image simple, increases its effectiveness.
Have a wonderful day!
