Acer rubrum (Red Maple); Leaf at 2:1 Scale
The red maple is a large, native tree of the New England region and plays a vital role in its ecosystem.
This photograph features a single, fresh leaf from a red maple, shown at twice its actual size. Its glossy surface reflects the light, highlighting the texture and prominent vein structure. Set against a clean white background, the leaf is removed from its natural context, encouraging viewers to appreciate the entire tree by closely observing a single part.
The image has a tactile quality—it invites the viewer to reach out, pick up the leaf, and turn it in their hands. The interplay between realism and abstraction draws the viewer in, fostering both curiosity and awareness of one of New England’s keystone species.
