It’s a warm summer day, the trees are full, and the sun breaks through just enough to hit these leaves. The photo is just a bit overexposed, but it’s the lighting and composition that I love. This was one of the first photos I took to earn a space on my wall.

August 2, 2009. Nikon D90 (DX sensor), 105mm Nikon macro lens (35mm equivalent: 155mm), f/3, 1/1,600, ISO 400.
