this is beautiful... sort of abstract. I love the strong play of light and shadows.
Well taken Rob. I bet the green of the leaf must be vivid and luscious

cheers

wow Rob, it appears we are both on the same page, or perhaps on the same "light" path today. What a wonderful coincidence!
Simply stunning my friend, like a secret passage in time and light.
