Most macro photographers would walk right by this great opportunity and not see the artwork waiting there for you. Here are two images of a small tree and a branch that has fallen during some high winds. I find these a lot where I shoot and always check any interesting combinations of dying leaves. Love the way they curl as they go through the dying stage.

Here are two images I like that look the leaves are engaging in a group hug.

The next two I shot with a wide open aperture at f/2.8 for a little more artistic feel.
Both of these I used the “Solarization” filter in Nik’s Color Efex Pro 4
