Walking Among the Leaves _ monomad daily chalenge
Hello to all my friends in the Black & White Community,
This is Menati again, and this time I bring you a warm and intimate story from a peaceful autumn day in the heart of the forest.
This photo series captures simple, authentic moments where the subject, a woman, walks along a narrow woodland path, sits among fallen leaves, embraces a bouquet of flowers, and gently smiles—embracing nature within her gaze. In some frames, sunlight streams through the tall, bare branches, casting soft beams of light onto her face and hair. This interplay of light and shadow lends a poetic yet real atmosphere to the images.
In the first image, she sits on the ground, one knee slightly raised, her hand resting gently on her head—a gesture that conveys a quiet moment of reflection. The leaf-strewn ground and narrow dirt path lead into the forest’s depth, adding intimacy and depth to the scene.
In another image, a large bouquet of fresh white flowers rests beside her as she smiles warmly, giving the image a genuine and friendly feel. These frames beautifully illustrate how simplicity can convey true emotion—without pretense or overly staged poses.
In one standing portrait, she leans softly against a large tree trunk, her bouquet in hand. The composition of tree, human presence, soft autumn light, and scattered leaves creates a calm, honest, and real mood.
Lighting on this day was a key challenge. The natural midday light, at times harsh and at times gentle, allowed us to experiment with angles and capture the best moods. Some frames were intentionally wide to include the tall trees and narrow path, making the environment part of the story—not just a background.

You've been given plenty of chances. Too many.

Due to internet fluctuations and occasional disconnections, I decided to prepare a set of my works in advance for upload at a specific time. For consistency, I used a fixed style for the introduction and conclusion of my articles. I carefully reviewed all the texts I wrote and I did not use AI to generate any of the images. I only used AI to help achieve a more accurate, fluent translation from Persian to English, which I didn’t realize would be against the rules.
I sincerely apologize for any misunderstanding. Please let me know what steps I can take to resolve this issue and restore my posting privileges — I am happy to fully cooperate.
Also, I noticed that some pre-made templates for introductions are commonly used on platforms like Picxy, and I intended to adopt them as part of my signature style. Again, I apologize for any confusion this may have caused and I’m ready to correct this if needed.
I just realized it and corrected it. Unfortunately, when translating the text I had written to help translate my article into English, some additional text was unintentionally added at the end of the post. Please forgive my oversight — it has now been fixed.
I always take the time to carefully prepare the photos I take, and sometimes I even comment on them individually.
I hope this issue will be resolved. Thank you.
I completely understand your concerns and I want to clarify my situation honestly.
Unfortunately, my English language skills are not strong, so I used AI assistance (ChatGPT) to help me translate and phrase my own words into proper English.
All the ideas, concepts, and original content in my posts are mine — I personally took the photos and wrote the descriptions in my native language first. I only used AI as a language tool to help me express my thoughts clearly and avoid mistakes in English, not to generate text automatically or to mislead anyone.
I now realize this may have created confusion and I sincerely apologize. I greatly respect this community and I’m ready to fully align with its rules. Please let me know if there’s any way I can resolve this and contribute properly going forward.
Thank you very much for your time and consideration.
Its just fi translation, not for generate
