Insert your picture of a natural leaf.  Only specimens with two naturally originated holes are valid submissions.  Nothing on the leaf must be altered or changed.  If you have altered anything, even a minor detail (e·g·, enlarging one eye, trimming the blade...), such an entry belongs to the artistic category.  


For multiple images, the form must be used repeatedly:

    Hello Halloween!    

ARTISTIC

ARTISANALLY  MODIFIED  LEAFS


Insert your picture of an artistically redesigned leaf.  For example, the eyeholes can be burnt through with a red-hot nail, you can enhance the contours with a pencil, etc·.  Only realistic photos of a processed physical leaf are eligible, not digital fantasies - never upload an electronically produced or post-edited image here.
