This is my metaphorical take on "dead end"; the title is from a line by Theodore Roethke.

You have captured such vibrant colors. I think it's a terrific fall shot, but if someone showed me this photo and asked me to guess a category, I would never think of "Dead End." Therefore, even though I think it's a great shot I have given it a lower score.

It's interesting how all those orange leaves make me look at the blue sky.
