They grow everywhere and are considered a nuisance but they do provide about the only vivid color when fall arrives. They can be beautiful when backlighted by the sun.

Great color and detail and the lighting really brings out the beauty of these. You did a great job on this one.
Superb the way it sets against the background.

Pat - Terrific lighting, giving the leaves a glow, and creating some nice shadows; and the color is wonderful. Depth of field keeps the focus on these six leaves in a nicely composed photo. Very well done! Thad

Hey! Someone must have picked all the Chickens off that tree 'cause there's nothing but leaves left. A great closeup, Pat. Great colour, detail and lighting in this fine fall image. Nice work.

Ref: Luckyshot's comment
He said, "The six leaves composed a nice photo..." How many leaves? (Momma trots off to count the leaves...........returns)
Oh, well....yes, there are six leaves! (Thanks the dear Lord that she didn't post of picture of a whole tree)

The "chicken leaves" look lovely with their vivid colors and the sun shining on them. A fine capture, Pat.

They appear to have a glow that lights up their autumn 'costumes' from within... beautiful and beautiful clarity too, Momma.

btw, I counted six leaves too... ;-)

Nature provides us with so much, all we have to do is enjoy it. Love this time of year, and the backlighting is fantastic. I'm off tomorrow to go do a bit of Autumn shooting too.Here the Maples are just outstanding in colour this year. Lovely photo Pat..verena

I'm looking forward to your image of the whole tree and your request to us to count the leaves Momma. Can give you already the answer, lol.
Thanks for this very fine Fall post.
Regards, Cornelius.

Almost like an abstract painting. The simplicity
of this composition is refreshing. Love the color.

Chicken trees? I hate to think what happens if you stand under them for too long. Good idea this Momma, I like the light behind the leaves a lot and it's a different take on the autumn colours - kind of 'less is more'. I like your title too. It made me remember Peachy Cheeks.
