Really nice backlighting on these Thad. The focus is spot-on too.

Hi, Thad...

You nailed this one. Naturally you can't beat the colors of the leaves, but you've used the available lighting to take this shot a step further. The well lit background has accentuated the translucence of the leaves, a great touch.

Last night I lay in bed looking up at the stars in the sky and I thought to myself, where the heck is the ceiling.

No thanks Thad, I'll stay indoors and away from the wind. It is too cold for me LOL! Very nice image of the autumn leaves.

It must have been a calm day. Real nice lighting in the photo, Thad. Good colours, details and DOF. Interesting composition.

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
