Leaf at Washington Park Building Montana I had climbed theI found my walking around Washington Park in Denver during Fall. As I neared Smith Lake in the park I noticed a lone leaf in the water. The wind was providing some ripples on the lake and was also slowly moving the leaf. I found my angle to capture the image (while also staying dry) and used the ripples to fill in the rest of the frame for this image.
