I was on my knees , taking shots of one pretty blue flower, when wind brought this dry leaf straight to my camera. Now, you can guess what I did . Was trying to take a nice pic of it, but could not do anything outside on that wind. I took it home and here is one of these photos. Reminds me of embroidery, but ‘fragile’ is better word for it .

Great macro, and it's very Artistic. A creation.

Ahhh... this is beautiful. The light and shadows are wonderful. This reminds me of a caramelized sugar decoration on one of those fancy cakes. Very delicate. I'm most impressed by your ability to find this beautiful and then making sure we find it beautiful as well.
