Today I realized (again) that great photography has very little to do with camera 'skills' and everything to do with "seeing."
While headed out the back door of our old garage, my eye caught our lawn rake, sitting handle down in the garden tool caddy. Maybe it was this morning's filtered light, but I had been walking past the tool and leaf for days and never 'saw' this photo until this morning. The fallen leaf had been impaled on the tines of the rake, set back in it's place after use raking up fallen apples in the front yard.
I ran and grabbed the camera, made a quick few exposures in the available light and here is the result. Except for a slight adjustment in contrast and sharpening in Photoshop, this is the image that was "found" this morning.
