Like the contrast options in this shot. As you stated - Beauty vs. blight, but also contrast in textures. Nicely composed, good light...bumping up.

Phil thinks this is "a pretty good photo" and he would like to see it in full color. I wonder if you captured this image in color and changed it to black and white during editing? If so, we can consider buying a copy from you in the DCPrints. This would be an experiment for the very first time ever. Get back to us please and keep on shooting great photos. From one of your favorite group of fans. by Donald

Thanks Ken. I can still call you Ken can't I? ;^)

Wow! Worst one ever for me score wise. Oh well...it's funny, I couldn't get past the vision of kids at a desk, or card cheating so I wasn't going to enter. Then last day of the challenge deadline I was out in the yard dealing with these leaves, thinking to myself - thank goodness for this mulching machine. Then thought about how it was kind of taking the easy way out..bingo, cheating! Grabbed the camera and the rest is history. ;^)

Oh, if you come back to read this Jeannel (tpoc), there was 30 minutes of daylight left...can't get much later day sun than that. He-he.

okay, first i have to confess that i don't live in an area with lots of falling leaves, so:
i don't really get this. is the rake shadow the old-fashioned way and turning to new technology the cheating way? that's what i'm getting from this pic...

lovely colors in the leaves. would have liked to see this taken late in the afternoon for softer richer light.

Very interesting photograph. Nice exposure and sharpness. Too much background distraction, and some merging, however.
