Nice composition. Fills the frame. The back lighting is good to show the colors of the leaves of gold an brown. Nice depth of field. Nice fall image.

From the colors in the background, to the beautifully focused leaves upon the stark stems, this is a truly magnificent picture. I can feel the atmosphere of the autumn.

what a great image of before the wind comes and blows them off the tree. like the colors and details and depth you have captured here, the out of focus background helps make the standout, a pleasure to look at. Thank you for sharing. dale

I love autumn and this says it all to me, beautiful colour in the trees which catch the light the leaves seem so fragile, the branch is placed well in the frame and stand out clear against the background. lovely

A wonderful snapshot taken from an interesting angle showing in just a few leaves the range of colours that they go through in the process of change into season. The lighting is also good as it creates differing shades too as the light is cast onto them, all contrasting nicely with the blurred greenery in the background that will no doubt be next! Good DOF and clarity and overall a nice shot and good example of the switchover into Autumn. :)

Excellent choice of subject with aesthetic backlighting.
Translucent venation.
Fiery color rendition.

Exquisite interplay between lights and shades...

Filled up framing.
Subtle illumination.
Pin sharp focusing.
Nice perspective & narrow DOF.

Thanks!

Well captured image of the last of fall. I love your fine use of clear focus as well as the lighting and composition.
The leaves look like glowing gold, slightly tarnished (though gold does not tarnish as we know). Very striking piece.

Meg,
A beautiful picture of the Autumn coloured Sycamore or Maple leaves with the light glowing through them from behind as the are moved by the breeze. The soft blurred colours of the background making the perfectly contrasting backdrop. Beautiful composition framing & lighting taken with superb camera techniques & sharp focus.

nice capture of the dead leaves and the light passing trough then, but the background is too busy and too bright and this disturbs

thanks for sharing
