Carpe Lux Seize the Light

As I was taking pictures of flowers in our yard, something caught my eye and I walked over. A few left-over fall leaves hung over the wire fence, backlit by a ray of light from the noon sun, in the darkness under the trees. One shot, one picture. This is the result after some rather minor gamma and contrast adjustments in UFRaw. The Pentax K5 and DA* 50-135 is a wonderful combination - many images are useful right off the SD card.
