Experimenting with editing a photograph of Rhoicissus digitata; the orginal leaf of inspiration

Uncropped and unchanged: original picture of the Rhoicissus digitata

Amazing red leaf, tendrils for effective creeping, and trifoliate, all assist in its identification as part of the grape family, Vitaceae. 

Red leaves in evidence

Photographing the Ficus burkei closest to the house this morning, distraction eventually led to focusing on one red leaf of a Rhoicissus digitata growing in the Fig.  The colour in the one leaf that will soon drop off was just too amazing. Nature at its most inspiring.
