    Beautiful composition, Julie. Love the colors and the framing of the leaves. I would have preferred the dark stem slightly more in focus - that's just me :) TFS.

    The colors, composition, and clarity are wonderful. Makes me miss Autumn (I grew up in upstate New York, but live in Florida now)

    I would have to say that this photo is great. It's fascinating how you can turn a leaf into a beautiful photo with a dreamy background.

    I guess I have to try out this type of photography too. :)

    Sweet background light, Jules. You featured the yellow leaf well in the frame. Not sure how I feel about the OOF twig. :confused: I just love sweetgum trees. They hold on to their green leaves the longest of any tree, I think. I've got one in my front yard. It's young, so not too many of those spiky seed balls yet.

    Jules, I love this composition. Background blur and color set the leaves off perfectly. I miss autumn (we don't get much here and I grew up in New England).
