Much better to leave things in situ if possible.
The leaves were just a bit of fun with a light box and some paper

I wondered how you got that glow in the background  Did you make the light box? What do you use it for? They have a big one in the Nursery at school - maybe I can sneak in when they've all gone home and try it out

It was made by my ex BiL.
It's handy having lots of studio equipment (in the studio-cum-ex-boxroom) and most of it has been improvised or obtained second hand. Light tents are brilliant inventions too and we have various sizes of them. A little ingenuity saves many pennies! I just can't understand people who are willing to throw money at 'new' and 'expensive'. It doesn't make their images any better and they could be investing in good glass instead!

In the olden days I used to do 'table top photography' with my daughter's dolls house bits and pieces. 300 watt bulbs in table lamps and stuff draped in the background. All very dramatic black & white stuff...

All very dramatic black & white stuff... | Not ordinary light bulbs though? Bulbs that are the correct temperature are very expensive - I broke one the other week ........ 
I'm still trying to get my head round why a nursery should have a light box 
I fear we digress from the OP.
