Student photographer's analysis of the photo:

This picture shows a leaf that is dying. It makes me feel sad because the old leaf is about to fall to the ground. Probably the fence is the reason that the leaf is dying faster. I would like to do something about the leaf's situation, but I just can't do anything about it. The colors of the leaf are green and brown. The shape is strange because it looks like a piece of paper that has been burned. And it has holes. The leaf also has lines that are going in different directions.
