A very creative idea. The red of the leaf is
complimentary to the green (Algae) in the
rings of the stump. The mostly straight sharp
lines of the leaf are in contrast with the
circular annual rings. I feel a little cheated that I cannot see the
entire leaf.
It's a sweet gum leaf. And actually the
"stump" is a weird concrete paver
made to look like wood that previous owners
left in the yard. This was just a quick shot
I took in my yard...still surprised it has
shown up on so many websites.

Do you know what species this is?

Love the color! Just featured it on my coffee blog for a seasonal coffee post. Wonderful autumn 'feeling' in the picture!
