THE CAMERA'S ONLY JOB is to get out of the way of making photographs. It's entirely an artist's eye, patience, and skill that makes an image. ~Ken Rockwell VISIT MY GALLERY
I have to agree with Kidder's assessment. I wouldn't have thought to do this, but it really works well. I like the colors in the leaves, even though they're definitely leftovers :)
Maybe the tree's covering itself up with these old leaves to feel less naked :P Otherwise a very nice shot but some of the branch on the left and the sky in the background at the same time could've been cropped out so the leaves would get all the attention.
very interesting shot Cindy... I agree with the comments above, Janne's idea (frenger) is also interesting, it might be nice to crop out the bottom part where most of the sky is. Anyway, this is very nice^^
