A dry oak leaf, wedged vertically into the deep crevices between the trunks of two aged trees... The interplay of light and shadow—set against the rigid, vertical lines of the tree bark and the curved, organic form of the leaf—lends a powerful graphic quality to the composition. Reflecting the unique perspective of Murat Topay, this photograph of texture and contrast serves as an accomplished example of macro photography, capturing the geometric order and abstract forms found in nature.
