Wondered why you weren't at the top so read the other comments and though it didn't bother me now that the van has been pointed out I guess cropping it out wouldn't hurt the photo much. Though you would lose some of the leaves. I still like it alot
comp, color, contrast, lighting, all excellent.... meets the challenge with real wind.... priceless. One of only three 10's given by me in this challenge.
This image catches what so many images missed - falling leaves in the wind, and a clear view of a person interacting and moving through them. Cropping out the van would be better.
Very nice! Excellent job of catching the leaves all over the place - some static and frozen, some still definitely moving. Added bonuses of the yellow jacket to echo the leaves, and the windblown hair. Truly creates the feel of a crisp fall day in the city!
