Saw a macro photo of a dried leaf once where all you could see is the veins and thought it was pretty neat. This is a real leaf that was bronzed. I hung it in front of my lightbox and used a flash inside the lightbox. If you look close at the bottom of the leaf you'll see some light bleed but overall I'm happy as I was able to actually get it looking white and not egg shell white like I usually do.

Great shot! _ Bronzed what sort of flash do you use, x-ray, gamma-ray or "dilithium crystals" off the Enterprise?
That's terrific! You've been doing the coolest stuff.
Very cool effect. Is the flash directed from the back of the leaf or does it matter?
I really want to try constructing a lightbox - maybe today I'll get out to get the supplies.
Good looking shot, Sir!
Nice shot. I don't know if I see the bleeding of the light you describe, maybe full size it is more visible. Either way, well done.
Nice shot - beautiful in it's simplicity.
