Nice rich forest floor. Kind of looks like my lawn. lol Not. But that mat of leaves will provide some really nice compost for the trees here. Pretty little steps too. Nice find, Richie.
What a beautiful scene, Richie. You seem to be at home in these autumn shots in the forest. Outstanding camera work with not a flaw that I can see. Your use of the tree in the right foreground really helps to add depth to this shot which almost seem fantasy-like to me. If you stuck a garden gnome at the top of those steps, you'd have a surefire winner in the contest. The colors are magnificent. You'd better bring your rake with you next time. Looks like you have some work to do.
