We'll call this one "Close-up Inspection of Fall." Samer Farha made this clever set up by squishing the leaf between the double glass of a diploma frame, holding it upright with two clamps, and setting white foamboard behind it. The careful flash set-up highlights the intricate vein structure and the lovely orange-to-yellow colors. Well done. (Samer, incidentally, just came back from a three month world tour, starting with the Beijing Olympics -- browsing through all his images is worth it, if also envy inducing.)
