Leaf Study – Light and Form in Nature
Graceful in its simplicity, this single green leaf becomes a quiet celebration of texture, structure, and light. Its gently curved edges and intricate network of veins are brought into focus against a backdrop of soft, glowing bokeh, inviting the viewer to pause and observe the subtle beauty often overlooked in everyday foliage. Photographed in Fern Canyon at the San Diego Zoo, this image captures a moment of stillness within the layered greens of the understory, where dappled light plays gently across the leaf’s surface. A contemplative study in form and serenity, it’s a reminder that even the humblest elements of nature can speak volumes.
