¡Pues va a ser que sí que era un Arce! Y yo empeñada en desechar la idea porque no había visto en la red fotos de arce que tuvieran hojas como éstas. Pero cuando la intuición se empeñaba en decirme que era un arce... por algo sería, ja ja.
Lo que aún no me queda muy claro es cuál de las dos especies: Acer campestre o Acer monspessulanum...
¡Pues parece ser que se trata de Acer campestre! (lo siento Dietrich) pues las hojas del A.Monspessulanum son trilobuladas, mientras que las del A.campestre son pentalobuladas (obsérvese por la hoja de la derecha que son 5 los nervios principales que brotan del eje)

Mil gracias a Milos Koudelka y a Dietrich Meyer que me han revelado las dos variedades que pugnaban por la identificación de este árbol.

Un fuerte abrazo a los dos.

ARCE COMÚN o ARCE CAMPESTRE (Acer campestre)

http://www.infojardin.com/fichas/arboles/acer-campestre-arce-comun.htm

Species: Aceraceae
Type: Deciduous
Height: Up to 80' (25 m)
Flowers: Yellow / green in May

Field Maple, sometimes called Hedge Maple, is a native to Southern England. It is often used in hedges.

The bark is grey/brown with a cork-like texture. The leaves have 3 to 5 rounded lobes. The yellow/green flowers appear in May in upright clusters. The fruit appears as double 'keys' with the wings almost horizontal. In autumn the leaves turn a pretty yellow red.

Sorry Maite, I won't be of much help identifying the tree. But the photo is excellent. The dark background gives a 3-D impression. Some more depth of field would have rendered the leaves on the right sharper. TFS. Best wishes,
Hakan

Hello Maite,
Nice pov and composition. Great sharpness and color contrast. The leaves are stand out from background nicely.Best wishes,

Nice color and good background.

Hola Maite,
Bella fotografía, cargada de una gran sensibilidad y gusto etético.
Me encanta la sutileza de la luz y los colores...en mi opinión, es muy difícil moverse en este tipo de fotografías, pues se puede caer facilmente en una imagen sosa, o por el contrario, -como en este caso-, lograr transmitir tantas cosas en una foto de gran calidad artística y visual. Valoro mucho este trabajo.
La iluminación de las hojas del primer plano, las sombras del fondo...genial!!!
Pues yo no estoy entre los muchos...sorry por no ayudar con el ID.
Enhorabuena por la foto y muchas gracias por compartirla.
Un gran saludo,
JM

Hi Maite.
Lyrical and delicate picture if this creative subject. I like it so much as well as your nice POV and very impressive composition. DOF is selected perfectly too. BG is very well darkened and coloured. Nice artistic work done with refined taste. My compliments and best wishes.

Very special shot, taken from an unusual point of view. The colours of the leaves are very fine and subtle. Thank's.

Hola Maite,
No sé que árbol serán, pero lo has transformado en obra de arte con esta foto tan estudiada. Preciso juego de luz y color y un punto de vista muy creativo.
Un saludo, José M.

Hola Maite,
Me gusta mucho la composición, la luz reflejada en la hoja contrastando con el fondo hace un efecto tridimensional, y da la sensación de flotar en el aire. En la ID siento no poder ayudarte. Un cordial saludo

Hi Maite.
Very nice composition.I like light on leafs and dark background.Also POV and DOF are very good and pretty 3-D efect.Leaves are a little similar like Acer campestre,but for high - quality identification would be better look from another angle.Well done this picture.TFS.
Best greetings Milos.

Hello Maite,
this is a simple but very nice picture. I like it. This is a very nice composition. Thank you.

Hello Maite,
It's a lovely composition. Excellent light and contrast with a well chosen dark background.
Best greetings,

Hi Maite,
A simple yet beautiful composition. The leaves have a very nice shape and texture to them. Nice colors and detail. A pleasing falloff in the DOF. Looks good!

Hello Maite,
I'm not sure either what kind of tree this could be. But the POV you choose is very interesting, it adds nice depth to the picture.
Colors and composition are lovely.

Hola Maite,
es original esta foto, y los detalles aportados, como dice Milos, el ángulo no es bueno para ID,
de todas formas buen disparo... saludos

Hello Maite,
your well composed, poetic picture is according to my lights (I am not a botanist) Acer monspessulanum, the French acorn and not A. campestre. It is well represented in the wild in Spain and France.

I used B. Kremer, 1998. Die Bäume Mitteleuropas. Kosmos,Stuttgart. So, you see, your species might not even have been listed in it.

I nevertheless hope to collect your hug one day.
My best regards
Dietrich

Buenas Maite, vaya preciosidad de composición, toda una belleza. Me encanta como destacan las hojas de ese fondo tan conseguido. Una composición que me encanta. Por cierto, me tienes que decir el tipo de letra que utilizas, es muy elegante. Enhorabuena y un saludo.

José Luis

Hola Maite,

Interesting angle in capturing these leaves.
Nice DoF, well focused.
Aesthetic image.

BRAVO

Bonjour Maite,
c'est une très belle présentation du feuillage d'érable champêtre, juste avant la chute. J'aime beaucoup l'éclairage très doux et la visée de profil sur ce rameau.
Salutations
Hervé

The way you have the leafs so large in front, then drifting off into the dark background is a very good composition.Nice eye!

Hello Maite,

very nice photo with own mood, well composed!

regards,
Igor

Nicely presented Maite,
I like how the colour desaturates into the background with the greener leaves to the front.
Gives it a good 3d effect, especially with the rear branch mirroring the front one in reverse.
Best, Brat.

Hi Maite,
this really great and original concept, the object is simple but the shot make it really extraordinary, I love the dark background contrasting with light cream color of leaf, good razor sharp focus also

delicat and finely balanced images and tones
the greens stand out well against the muted browns
lighting brings out the individual leaf structure and detail well
cheers
geof

Hello Maite,
This is an interesting close-up!
A delicate presentation of the season, even if this is last autumn...
Composition works well, good colours and details!
Greetings,
