Caption: The Fallen Leaf: loaded with insect dung, greased with muddy rainwater, and yet full of life! The photo shows a fallen leaf that carries immense beauty and detail even in its lifeless roughness. Story Behind the Image: It was my last examination for induction into the civil bureaucracy of my country. I felt relieved yet uncertain and confused as I had changed my base career to prepare for it. Now I had to think about where to adjust until the result was announced. It was raining; I decided to spend some time on the examination campus enjoying nature, reviewing my struggles, and praying to God for success. Mindlessly roaming around, I came across a leaf that felt fallen, loaded with insect dung, greased with muddy rainwater, uncertain of its future, and yet full of life! I sat a few minutes beside it, observing the intricate details and the fact that it was still standing to what nature had bestowed it with. After a few attempts, I managed to capture a clear, close-up view of it.
