Another proof that you've a very keen eye when it comes to special subjects in photography, Sandi. 999 out of 1000 passersby would have passed this scene carelessly, but by the 1000th (being you) this maple leaf couldn't 'escape' to be photographed, with this special result.
If you think you can't accept something, try to change it. But if this doesn't work, don't be frustrated, but give it later another try. The one who perseveres wins!
