brown wooden frame with green leaf

Red food colour absorbed by the veins in a leaf. A leaf of a Fiddle-leaf Fig tree was cut cleanly and the base of the leaf placed directly into red food colour in a container (Queen brand, pillar box red). After 17 hours, the underside of the leaf was photographed, with light coming from behind the leaf. I am amazed by the detail in the leaf, and red and green work well as a colour combination.
