Leaves

      I love the way leaves look when back lit. It reminds me of a network of veins. This particular one reminded me of a stained glass window, when I applied different tints to it.

       I placed the leaf on top of a lamp to get the back lighting. Photoshop effects are: Adjustment Layers>Curves>Black and White. And then I added various tints and saturation to play around with the 'stained glass window' image I had in my head. In the top photo I just put three different versions on one canvas. Enjoy!
