Not sure if this is what's meant by gold leaf!

Well, we had the angry tree, so I guess this is the happy tree! The central character was crafted from a shot I took a while back of some carved wood. To get to this stage it's been modified in many ways ... 'orbified', mirrored, etc. As for the background. that was based on a shot I posted a while back of some autumnal leaves.

One from the archives that was a 'nearly ran' for this week's Sunday Challenge , which had the theme of what's left . A pile of autumnal leaves I spotted in Darlington last year. Hit z and view large ... if you dare!

The theme for The Sunday Challenge this week was middle of the day ... as simple as that, or not as the case may be. I did think about doing some arty farty macro style shots of a clock face or a watch, but I used an image of the clock tower at All Saints Church in Northallerton just a couple of weeks back so I rules those ideas out. Eventually, I just decided to go take the camera outside one day over lunch, starting from just before midday until just after 1.00pm and shoot whatever I saw that took my fancy ... yes, I was starting to get that feeling of desperation that being involved with TSC can produce. I took several shots around town, but the one I've opted to use was taken in my back garden. I noticed that the bright midday sun was striking a small pile of fallen leaves and creating some lovely shadows. It might not look like it was taken in the early afternoon, but believe me it was ... honest! www.youtube.com/watch?v=d7R7q1lSZfs
