I shot this in the woods last weekend. The leaves were in the shade however the sun was shining on the foliage behind the leaves. I thought it made for a nice combination. Shot with a Canon 5D, and a Canon 28-300 Lens. The Aperature was 5.6, shutter 1/90, and an ISO of 100.
Gordon,
Quite eye-catching; vivid colors, and a nice arrangement. I think it would benefit from more contrast, to help separate the leaves from the BG, and some sharpening of the leaves to bring out the detail.

Beautifully seen, Gordon! I personally think the crop is just a bit tight. I'd add a small bit to the right side and bottom so the leaves don't feel like they are rubbing up against the edge of the frame.
What a gorgeous shot. Ditto Julie's comment about the tight crop. I like the repost. I would print that one large and hang it on the wall... Well done!
