Playing with contrast!

I have always loved the way these leaves photograph. I was torn between the black and white version and this one, but decided on this one. There is such an intricate nature to the leaves and their structure.
It was a pretty dull day for me. The family went on a big tramp without me as I have a sprained ankle thats still giving me grief. Im thinking I need to go to the physio and get some proper advice. I keep re hurting it.
