This is a surprise tree - it wasn't supposed to pop up in front of the stately golden oak or next to the 30' fir. But this hardy maple wanted to be by the edge of the pond and so it is. I've watched it grow from a little sapling to a now 12' beauty. All comments and critiques appreciated.

Such a fiery and lovely tree and the foreground flowers really add to the composition.

Trees is like that, Kathy, they has a mind of their own and can appear in the most peculiar places. Sometimes unexpectedly, like the ones that appear in the middle of a perfectly good house following a hurricane. They certainly bear watching.:D
Absolutely gorgeous colours in this scene. Nicely composed photo and great work on this image. ~Eubeen Hadd

Think about the photo before and after, never during. The secret is to take your time. You mustn't go too fast. The subject must forget about you. Then, however, you must be very quick. Henri Cartier-Bresson
