This shot was taken at the Chicago Botanic Garden. We had a terrible windstorm the prior day and the next day dawned cold but crystal clear deep blue skies were abundant. As I walked through the garden I came across a broken and dangling maple tree branch across my path at eye level. The color was gorgeous so I decided to preserve those maple leaves beauty. As you can see in the background there were other smaller branches down and the white birch which lined this path had lost many of their golden leaves. This may be my entry for the contest.

It will make a good entry should you enter it Kathy.
Fall is definitely upon us. I like the focus on the Maple Leaf.
Good luck should you enter it in the contest.

People are like cameras--sometimes they lose focus.

By your focusing on the maple leaf that close, I had expected more bokeh in the distance, Kathy. I don't know how you've achieved this result. Fact anyhow is that by capturing this way the photograph remains very attractive.
Would be a good entry for the current contest indeed.
If you would decide so, I wish you the Best of Luck with it!

Good photo. The branch in the foreground clearly "makes" this picture. If you imagine the scene without the branch, it is still a nice scene but quite ordinary.

The overhang of the maple leaves gives your image great depth Kathy - looks like a lovely day for a walk down that path!!!

You did a fine job of focusing far and near, Kathy. This will make a good contribution to the contest.
