I like the way you muted or unfocus the foreground so that my eys were drawn to the Conkers. The leaves do not show any of the light that is reflecting on the Conders and blue field. Very interesting to me how you achieved that.
Conkers look just like chestnuts... in New York City they used to sell roasted chestnuts on the street corners this time of year. I like the deep rich colours.

"The more we come in contact with animals, and observe their behaviour, the more we love them, for we see how great is their care for their young." - philosopher Immanuel Kant
You will be led to the knowledge of the internal things which are invisible to you, by the external things which you see before you. . . . Even so then, we can represent to ourselves in thought the Author of all that is, by contemplating and admiring the (visible) things which He has made, and ever brings into being.
- Hermes
