Thank you for the welcome Jano. I also wish the silhouette was stronger...and wondering what one has to do to change the challenge topic to "serene tones"? : ) I'll try to come up with a couple more images that better fit your challenge.

Thanks MaryAnne for the comment. I also like the sepia here.

Hi Sharon! Yes, thanks much for prodding me into other challenges. Happy to be on the same page with everyone else. Wish my first image fit the challenge a bit better. I honestly would like to see a brighter leaf in this image, but that would move it farther still from the topic.
This is a grave, but not for the reasons you think. The stone markers are unrelated (but wanted them to provide a mood for the photo) and simply list temple benefactors. The grave itself is marked by a steel egg-shaped sculpture on which the leaf is resting.

Hey, David, great to see you here! And a very nice entry as well. Lovely tone. Is this in a cemetery? Good work, as usual! ~Sharon

The sepia tone is a nice touch, as are the Japanese characters in the background.

Hi David and welcome to the challenge! I wish there was more light background to silhouette the leaf more. I do like the serene tone of this photo. :) jano
