This is actually my desktop picture right now. Both pictures in the diptych were taken with my Canon Digital Rebel XT with my EF-S 60mm Macro lens. The picture on the right was taken at f/4.5, 1/640, ISO 400 and the one on the left was taken at f/4.5, 1/320, ISO 400. The best part of autumn, for me, was always the shadows that leaves left on sidewalks after they've decayed, especially after rain. I call them leaf ghosts. I was lucky to find two leaves on the sidewalk right before they disintegrated completely. When I came home and uploaded the pictures I realized that the placement of the leaves right next to the crease in the sidewalk made them good candidates for a diptych.
