This staged photo was created with a variety of leaves collected in Virginia during late August. The leaves were arranged in a blue bird bath. As the sun was coming up in the morning it illuminated the leaves to near perfection. This photo is completely unedited.

Canon EOS Rebel T1i (500D), Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS kit lens, f/5.6, 1/60 second exposure.
