I saw this leaf and had visualised this image but had to wait quite some time for a sun beam shining through the trees to hit this leaf in the water. It was exciting to see this develop.
I hope you like it too.

Lovely light, indeed, Ute. Love your eye for scenes like this.
Have you considered cropping the green grass at the top, leaving their reflections? Just a thought

Great light indeed! Love the contrast between the delicately lit leaf and the darkness of the water. Your patience rewarded you. Fine shot Ute!

Oh man Ute! That is so cool! Way to go to wait for the light! That's not always easy to do, so congrats on getting this baby!

Fine image, Ute! It's simplicity and intensity are very attractive.

Hi Ute,

Very interesting idea and good execution (and patience). I am not quite sure about the green grass in the top part of the picture though...

Hello Ute,

Your mini-scapes have always been an inspiration to me. Love the simplicity but it's the delicate light that really sends this over the top for me. Really nice work!

Such elegance, simplicity and graceful beauty in another of your inspiring compositions. If the photo were translated into words it would become a perfect "haiku." Hear! Hear!

Thanks a lot, Barry, for your thoughts on this. I did try with and without the green, I also took several version. I haven't yet made up my mind which one I like better. For the moment, this one but that might change.

Gorgeous image, Ute. I like the composition of the different elements here, with areas of interest everywhere and various lines leading to the focal point where the reflections of the green garss meet the water - love the fact that some of the leaves are seen through the water - it really adds texture.

Thanks, Adrian. There is not much colour around yet, so I was pleased to find this one even if in the water.

It is a captivating and absorbing activity, waiting for the light! This is really lovely, as the spotlight on the chestnut leaf is just enough, and no more - the soft light of autumn sun.

Hi Ute,

This is really well seen! So many would walk past either unaware or not seeing the potential. To see it is one thing, but to wait until all the elements click is yet another. Beautifully done!

Thanks again. This is not the obvious autumn image but I like those little gems that the sun singles out for us!
