This Is Why They Call It Fall

Gorgeous fall colors! Love all the falling leaves! I was driving today & a gust of wind blew all these leaves around in a swirl around the car. It was so awesome I was wishing I had my camera with me.

Harsh

Comment by LandzEnca:
Very harsh midday lighting indeed on the wall. But i think the challenge suggest that we not only show midday light, but how we overcame it as well. Compensating exposure for the very bright wall is one way to show that you were trying to beat the harsh midday sunlight, but that wasn't done here.

The lower left side of the margin was off by a few pixels.

Love the perspective on the flower. It looks defeated or humbled. Perfectly titled.
