I absolutely love how the visible grain elevates this! 👍 Excellent work and it reminds me that I've got to experiment with adding texture from time to time... if used tastefully it can have a similar effect in my opinion, however you need quite a bit of experience to do that, which I still lack.

Wow, great impact for me with the composition and colors!

Autumn leaf (Sycamore)
Almost a pretzel

Thanks - great shot! Very interesing shapes and red edges on that leaf and nice diagonal composition!
Many thanks - beautiful! That's quite an unusual but nice looking color combination in the first one. I also love the shapes vines create, found this one for example:

Here are a couple more shots (hopefully) showing a little bit of my appreciation for leaves and their incredible details:

Early attempt at still life with an old faithful Canon Nifty Fifty. The image was processed this morning from the original RAW file. Mostly cropped square, reverse vignette, dust spots removed and a little cheer added.

Perhaps stretching the notion of leaves beyond the breaking point. Let us see...
Another attempt at still life rather more recent made with a vintage lens. Probably 50mm VHE enlarging lens. -
A few more. I like leaves.

Again - fantastic! It's obvious that a lot of thought and care goes into your shots and processing. 👍

As far as I know blades of grass are considered leaves, so yes, that's fine!
Great arrangement and capture! I like the use of complementary colors.

I'm happy that @kgwhite and @TomAxford have shown some beautiful studio arrangments of leaves. It's not something you see a lot as the main subject, but it tends to work exceptionally well in my opinion. Unfortunately most of my "arranged" shots are a bit more chaotic and all over the place, but I really like creating what I perceive as interesting arrangments in the moment:

Another B&W one... Even though I'm often hesitant to try those, I like how it sometimes opens interesting opportunities to focus on and highlight texture:

One last indulgence.
I actually photograph leaves as still life subjects quite often. Sometimes they get used years later.Still Life of leaves with sort of abstract reflection.

Love it - excellent arrangement, nice colors and beautiful texture on that leaf!
