Pentax 67 II. 135 mm
HP5 @ ASA 250 in HC-110
Brilliant G3

I really enjoy when I find photographic subjects in nature that I can photograph
and print, exactly as I found them, yet they appear to be something different.
This leaf seems like a Kirlian print of an energy field or magnetic lines from
an image taken in deep space.
I just hope that it becomes clear to the space billionaires that there are other
priorities to spend money on, and if they want to see fantastic scenes of
natural phenomena, one can find many every day in any backyard

A really interesting and well done photo. Thanks so much for sharing.

Nice shot! Honestly can't see anything I'd change with this. A unique perspective for that subject.

**PJ1** · 07-21-2021, 09:32 PM

Nice shot. Nature provides us with some interesting forms which are repeated in seemingly unlikely places.

Great image. No fault to be found here.

Well done, once again. Our senses of geometry seem to match perfectly.

Great shot, well done and composition is wonderful. At first glance at the thumbnail in the listing, I was expecting a bullet hole in glass. So happy to see it was something much more beautiful.

Superb photo and a great sentiment- there's much undiscovered magic those billionaires could use their resources on here...

Stunning ! It is pure joy to watch these beautiful patterns in nature rendered in B/W by a gifted artist. Thank you.

Very unique, and successful! Also a classic example of figure/ground art, where negative and positive spaces aren't stable or easily understood. Nice!
