flat vector-style illustration, solid fills, clean hard edges, limited palette, no gradients, no texture
Square 1:1 frame. A single fallen maple leaf in orange and red with its long stem intact lying flat, a complete leaf with five pointed lobes and visible veins.
Isolated on a fully transparent background: alpha = 0 everywhere outside the subject and its shadow, not white, not coloured, no checkerboard pattern, a real alpha channel. The whole subject sits fully inside the canvas with a clear margin of transparency on every side, its outer rim fully transparent and nothing cropped by the frame. A small flat soft grey contact shadow mark under it in the alpha channel is the only ground cue. No lettering, numbers, logos, frames, borders or markings appear anywhere.
