When I took these pictures, it was the most beautiful day outside. The sky was so blue and completely empty. The temperature was warm without being too hot. There was a slight breeze that passed through periodically as I sat on the front porch. It was peaceful, with only the songs of birds playing in the background. 

As I enjoyed the moment, I was struck by the banana leaf plant in the yard. It stood tall and proud as its leaves reached for the sky. The bright, verdant green perfectly complemented the turquoise sky. Each leaf possessed so many angles, shapes, and textures. The way they all interacted with one another fascinated me. 

I had to grab my camera and capture this perfect moment. I spent nearly an hour contorting myself around this plant trying to get every conceivable angle. When I was editing this series I wanted to focus on the bringing out the breathtaking colors I fell in love with. Fortunately, the color of the sky bounce off of the shiny leaves, which allowed me to bring out some turquoise against the vibrant green.
