Comment by Jutilda:
Well, this begins with a Glen. It begins with a season,
Which, for want of a better reason, we'll call September
It begins with a forest, where the woodchucks woo,
And leaves wax green,
And the vines entwine moonlight lovers.

Try to see it - not with your eyes, because they're wise,
But with your ears - the cool, green breathing of the leaves.
And hear it with the inside of your hand,
The soundless sound of shadows.

Celebrate sensation!
Recall it's secret place -
You've been there you remember?
That special place?

Where someone held your hand?
And love was sweeter than the berries or the honey,
Or the stinging taste of mint
It is September - before a rainfall.
Perfect time to be in love

This is the beginning (spoken part) of a beautiful song from the longest running off-Broadway play, The Fantastiks. I love when something so vivid comes into my head. This is wonderful and thanks for making me remember it.

That sharp and brilliantly lit part looks great. From the thumb I thought it was a butterfly with closed wings sitting on a leaf.

Comment by Maggye:
I like the spot of light, and the contrast it makes with the green and dark bg.

The green colors are delightful in that light. The different textures in the flora are also very nice.

Pretty, pretty - light, shadows, colors, composition. Autumny.

Comment by sfalice:
Instead of the strong, sometimes clashing colors of fall, you have found some subtle and lovely colors for a pleasant contrast.

Very nice image.

I like the subtle light! Gives the leaves a fragile look.

I love how the light gracefully brings out the textures and colors on the leaves.

The light and shadow make this one for me. It's good to see that it's fall somewhere. The evenings are just beginning to get a little cooler here in S W Florida.
