About

This close-up photograph by Charles Negre features a dark red autumn leaf positioned diagonally against a pale, neutral background. Several clean circular holes are punched through the leaf lamina. Two polished metallic pins or objects protrude upwards through lower circular apertures, creating a stark textural contrast between the organic plant matter and the manufactured metallic elements. The lighting is clean and diffuse, highlighting the intricate vein patterns of the leaf surface and the smooth reflective curves of the inserted hardware.
