It's a park bench.

I was surprised no one mentioned the thing that annoys me about the picture. There was a second leaf on the bench and I removed it for the shot. But I didn't bother drying the leaf-shaped puddle it left behind.

Thanks for all the comments.

I love the lines, and the leaf is a very good focal point. The only things that detract from this image are the drops and puddles (a little distracting) and the grass at the top left -- but I know you didn't create this, you were just shooting what you saw, so I can't fault you much for that. :) Good seeing -- great capture. 8.

missed this one the first time through but looking at it again - really, really nice with the water droplets adding so much to the overall effect

I like the unique view of the curves. I think I would like to see the curves dry and alone, and then maybe black and white, just a thought. But I also like the way the leaf interrupts the pattern.

Adding the leaf added a nice point of interest, I don't think the image would have been as impactful without it. Good job!

Good except I think the leaf takes away from your shot.

a tighter crop with none of the background would have been an 8

Lovely pattern. I would have cropped a little more from top.

This is a great picture, one of my favourites in this challenge. I like the pattern of the curvy lines and the way the single, off-center leaf complements the composition (10)

Very nice. I like the raindrops and the different textures, too.

I love the curves, not so much the leaf....I think it breaks up your pattern a bit. Nice color and contrast, as well as exposure. :)
