Fall colours

Just a very small leaf from a bush that was growing at the side of a path that I walked along, to go and see if there was any sign of the Beavers in Fish Creek Park, on 20 September 2014. Not sure if it's some kind of Currant. The leaves were such a beautiful orange colour. When I was editing this image late last night, I had a quick look to see if there was some way I could make the leaf stand out a little more. I happened to see "Sponge effect", clicked on it, and thought it was different and I quite liked it. Honestly, it's really not noise from a photo taken in very poor light, lol!

We need some strong colour today, as it's pouring with rain this morning. Rain that certainly wasn't mentioned in the weather forecast last night, ha. It is supposed to clear up this afternoon, though.
