 Death surrounds me - but I'm not sad, I LOVE winter and as such relish in Autumn as it tells me my favourite season is coming - SMILE!

So simple an image and yet so elegant! I like the darker corners but with the upper right corner was also darkened.

This is just stunning with the perfect DOF and those fall colors. The detail of the leaves really stand out compared to the soft foreground/background.

I love winter, too. But now that we are emerging into Spring, I'm ready. Wonderful clarity and subtle colors in this. And the contrast between the textures is awesome.

Oh, Lisa! This is stunning! I love winter too. But our winters are tooooo short and tooooo mild. But I look forward to seeing your autumn/winter photos and vicariously enjoying it for myself :)

I don't think I've ever seen death look so beautiful!

Wonderful image - i love you have captured the details in the leaves veins and how they spiral around and seem to continue from leaf to leaf

I really LOVE this image..... The simplicity, the detail, the reflection, the color tones, the DOF, and most of all it tells a story without words.....
