To take this picture, I walked to the closest vendor that was selling Spinacia oleracea leaf. the leaf that I got specifically was baby spinach, not of the larger variety. I specifically chose a leaf that was not previously damaged and had a relative rounder leaf, and it was still fresh enough that it did not wilt when held up, even at the edges. I then took a picture of the leaf, holding it by the stem, against a gray background and took a picture. I held the stem so that most of the stem was covered up by my hand and the only the leaf was visible. When I was taking the picture, I held it up close enough that the leaf was relatively center and filled almost the entire picture rather than just around the corners. the picture that I took was slightly blurry, and as a result, the full-color difference between the differing part of the leaf was only slightly visible. Then I took a bite that was large enough to cover half of the leaf, held it up again much in a similar position but with further distance so that the hand and the leaf fit within the bottom half of the picture, which was in portrait mode. and took another picture with a similar background.
While it does not matter where the plant leaf was obtained personally I obtained the leaf at one of the dining halls at University of Massachusetts Amherst. Specifically, the one that I have pointed out in the map. The gray background was the high chairs that they had at the dining halls. However, as long as the leaf is baby spinach and the background is a similar color, there should not be any reason why the picture would be different.
