If there's a controversial weed around (besides the obvious one) it would certainly be tobacco. A plant containing several psychoactive alkaloids which is normally consumed smoked, though it can also be ground and chewed or insufflated. Some are in love with it while most hate, mainly it for health reasons. But, what's with tobacco beyond its processed forms? It's a weed with broad, brightly green leaves and an important crop in places like the USA, Cuba or Zimbabwe.
PixiePoxPhtoography chose to take us one step closer to a tobacco crop, on this beautiful photo featuring yellowing tobacco leaves. The soft and hot color gamut, the focus and the angle of this picture are an example of pure subtlety, and it demonstrates how drying leaves can also be beautiful, as beautiful as the green or completely brown leaves which are featured on most of vegetable life pictures around.
So, a quick abstract: this is a quite beautiful and delicate photo of an ostracized product in an "in-between" state, which talks about the originality of author's approach.
