Red Heart Leaf (Happy Valentine's Day!)

            DEDICATED TO ALL OF MY FLICKR FRIENDS!
Thanks for every View, Fave & especially Comments guys : )

Hi everyone!

This photo was not originally my next choice to upload,  but as Valentine's Day
(Hearts Day) is upon us and this is a 'heart shaped' red leaf,  I thought it was very fitting : )

This photo is SOOC (straight out of camera) except for being cropped. 
The full photo is actually very pretty (IMO) but I wanted the focus  to be mostly on the heart shaped leaf : )
(( I did leave some green leaves in the photo for contrast ))

This image was such a lucky catch for me, as I was using my older Sony HX60V and could not see the LCD screen in the bright sunlight while shooting this leaf.
I had to take a photo, hide my camera in the shade from the sun... study the small screen, readjust & shoot again... then repeat!   
(( I now have a Sony HX90V with an articulating screen & a viewfinder... it makes a world of difference! ))

I found this batch of bright red leaves in the Autumn last year (November) and returned to it the next day,  when the sun was very bright,  to capture this particular scene : )

I always liked it but never thought it would be an image I would upload here,  so I'm very interested in how the response will be to it.

Happy Valentine's Day to those celebrating it!

 If you celebrate this day under a different title (or language),   please feel free to list the name of it in your own language in the comments section! 
I think we'd all love to hear about it : )

Have a great day guys and thanks for having a look!
I truly appreciate your time : )
