After yesterday's glorious afternoon, it was a disappointment to wake up to yet another raw rainy day. But even a sunless day when the sky is weeping has its beauty. I found it in these papery beech leaves and the raindrops clinging to their branches. Removing just the red of the background lets the leaves and the drops glow.

  8. That is such a lovely shot to start and the processing is wonderful.

    It sounds like you've been having the same weather as we have. I'm tired of the rain...

  11. Wonderful photo - I like the red in the background, too. It's amazing how abandoned, dead stuff can really make a stunning photo.
