I think the combination of yellow and green leaves together in the fall so pretty. Your framing of the yellow leaves is very attractive. I also like that some green berries are inside the frame.

Its is a good photo but can be even better if you had focused on one subject. Personally I would have gone with just the golden yellow leafs. Get a bit more closer and brighten it up. Well done and thanks for sharing.

    I was composing the Picture NOT you.
    The Title says Green & Gold I was showing the difference between the two colours.
    I'm NOT a professional Photographer I take pictures for pleasure NOT work.

    I apologize for that I dropped my phone a couple weeks ago and now my keyboard is acting like it's off sink and I was selecting five stars and it selected either 4 or 4.5 stars for several of my reviews I've gone back in and change them but they haven't changed as far as I can see yet if it hasn't updated by this afternoon I was going to try to call somebody and talk to them in person but I apologize for that I was supposed to give you 5 stars

Beautiful capture of these turning leaves as the season approaches more and more. I
Love how the golden ones stand out of this image with excellent depth and soft shadow. Really a beautiful capture of a simple yet beautiful subject.

I like how you filled the frame with these pretty Hawthorn leaves, Susan and the patterns shown by them against the dark background. Lovely autumn gold tingeing the green leaves. Very good lighting and focus showing a nice clear image. Great composition. Suzanne

    Sean,
    thanks a million for your great review. You are right about the Faerys favoring this tree which is often found growing on top of a "Faery Hill" causing some country roads that in England would go through the hill, in Ireland goes round it leaving a good margin & if it's near a Holy Well you may see cotton rags tied in the branches after they were dipped in the water & prayers said for answer or cure...Even today though less often than in the past.

A nicely cropped shot. I like the light on the leaves in the foreground and the way it falls off in the back. The colors are great and the leaves are well detailed.

I really like this photo Susan, and especially the simplicity and limited color pallet. The yellow leaves are standing out so well from the darkness of the background and the green leaves. I also think the light is falling them in such a lovely way.

Your photo is nice and sharp showing such clear and well defined details in all the leaves, and the exposure is perfect.

The cropping could not have been better, and the yellow leaves have got a very good placement within the frame. Indeed a beautiful and well taken photo, and with an excellent DOF.

Oh, this is a stunningly framed shot. I love your original composition, and the way you used the light. Great exposition of autumn in all its glory.
