Nice colors Cindy. I don't get to see that in California :). Some opinions given this came as a comment request... On my laptop, it looks like the leaves are not in focus. Unless you intended it to be that way, IMHO the shot will better if they were sharper. Also, if you had the chance, you could (or could have) walk a bit to the right to avoid the house to the right. I wonder how the picture of a whole tree would look as well. Keep sharing!
Wow, I wanted to get out the rake and clean up after that tree burst forth in my computer room. Our fall here was rather dull. The lack of an early frost and little rain didn't bring out colors like those.
