an' noticed these leaves lit up by the sun...did a spot of spot metering...the result with a soft filter. Kinda like it myself.

I agree
This deserves to be published

has an overall magic to it jimbo, the light & sharp contrast of the leaves makes the image! :]

My favorite kind of stuff! I always see places where light is shining on something but my results are far from this good. I love this shot! Just beautiful! :)
