Cascading leaves

Been really busy today getting ready to go back to work and I have to admit that I'm really looking forward to it after 5 months off.

Again never got over to the Angel so the garden came to the rescue with one of my Japanese maples. The pictures were OK when the leaves were dry but I think they looked far better with some water on them and when I processed the picture it almost looks like the leaves are cascading from left to right.

Canon EOS 40D with Canon 70-200 F4L at 113mm. 1/125 sec ~ F4.0 ~ ISO 100 ~ evaluative metering.

Again no complicated processing, just curves to lighten slightly, reduced image size and sharpened. Voila.
