I mentioned in a post last week, that when hiking, you shouldn’t pass up the little things that often get passed by on your way to “the shot.” I’m not sure what it was about this group of leaves that stuck out to me, probably the blue sky reflection in the water and the multiple variations in color of the leaves themselves, but I couldn’t walk away from it. If you find yourself in that situation, just take the shot. Don’t fight worrying about it, whether you should take it or not. If anything, you come up with a nice study shot, like this one. There’s something pleasing about the above image, and it’s certainly not the composition. But it’s there. Somewhere.
