A bright-red leaf out-of-place in a field of sickly brown leaves. I happened upon this idea as I saw a red leaf amongst all the brown leaves in our yard, so then I went and found a better leaf and positioned it like this. It was rainy and overcast, so the lighting was lower contrast and a bit blue, which is fitting for this image.

Assimilation at my website, Brilliant Photography by Richard X. Thripp.

Canon PowerShot A620, 1/10, F7.1, 7.3mm, ISO50, 2007-01-08T14:07:05-05, 2007-01-08_19h07m05b

Source image. This didn't need spot editing, but it did benefit from added contrast and a shift to cooler colors. Wait, I lied; I added red to the leaf and desaturated the background (just a tad) to make it stand out more.

It's existensial...feeling like you're a minority of one...unique...in the crowd but not in the crowd

Oh, sorry. :( Glad I was able to convey a concept clearly, though.
