Beautiful. Quality will never go out of fashion.

Texture with a hint of repeated pattern. Light just right, too. Excellent, I like it.

Why shouldn't it? 50 year old (and more...) humans can perform pretty well.

Thanks for the comments - I saw the potential for this shot a few days ago but the lighting and leaf growth wasn't quite right at the time -

What plant is that? It looks very similar to what my neighbours grow for 'recreational use'...

Looks rather like newly opened Horse Chestnut tree leaves to me and very lovely they look to.

Cheers

Both simple and beautiful.
Both the *istDS and the K5 are incurably addicted to old glass

Agree with the above comments regarding textures/patterns/colours - plenty of things to see in nature.
