Nice photo of pretty leaves but when all is said and done they are just leaves and I don't think the shadows help with the shot. If anything a distraction from the terrific colors. don

This very good and effective with the light giving a lovely clear shadow in detail. The colours of the leaves are nice and clear as is the focus and detail. A very well balanced image.

Ha! You know I love your magic leaves! Cara Mia..only you can take ordinary leaves and make them wall hanging worthy.
Great use of natural light, fine focus, great details and fab use of the filters. Love the shadows too!
Fine work Cara!

I really enjoy autumn, it's one of my best times of the year. I love the colours of the season and the leaves on the floor give the streets a different look and this picture depicts Autumn really well. Its a really nice picture, and I am so pleased you shared.

Beautiful composition. The reflection of the leaves on the background is perfect. You are clearly the Mistress of Layering. Great picture. Cheers, James.

Comment from Len Selement
I really like this one. A strong image, simple but very effective with a warm limited palette that makes it a pleasure to view. The leaves are glorious and the focus is nicely sharp. I normally stay well away from lens effects and the like but I have to confess they work rather well in this image.
Nice one.

strategically placed leaves, Love the light causing the shadows. Love the boldness of the colors. Great focus and framing. Good shot.

Light and shadow are used to the max to reflect a wide ranging contrast. I like the composition as it give a bowl-shaped feel to the work and the cast shadows are well-conceived and executed. The colors are most attractive and enjoyable. Excellent shot!

The overall effect is very good.The graduating colours of the background work well.The leaf shadows look effective and the light shining through the leaves is well done.
