The Leaf On The Ledge
Posted by Danny Pen , Thursday, October 18, 2007 5:06 AM
This was another one of the first few pictures taken with my SLR. I went out on the balcony and saw this leaf sitting on the ledge, which seemed odd, as the ledge was curved and there were no other leaves at all at any place on the ledge. Somehow this leaf managed to find that point of balance where it could stay on. I thought this was so strange; if you saw the ledge you'd know what I mean. This was something I had never stopped to think about before, the fact that leaves can fall and manage to fall in strange positions and places like this one. I think it's a good representation of the little, overlooked, and yet amazing things in life. I had to take a picture of it. I particularly like the focus on the end of the leaf, the part closer to where I took the picture from, and how it seems to blur the more you go back in the photo.
