I found this grouping of young trees(?) in an open space park this weekend. Couldn't walk away from this kind of color.

5d, 28-135mm, tripod, polarizer,

Comments and critiques always welcome, and thanks for looking,

Morris

Lovely color and a great DOF, Morris. Could you please get a giant blower and send those leaves south on 25. I would appreciate it so much.

The other thing I like is that the OOF area pretty much matches the subject area in space.

Only suggestion I would make would be to brighten the top leaf of the subject to a lighter shade of maroon.

Cheers,

Carol

Beautiful. I love the color, the background and the DOF. This would be so beautiful on a wall.

Superb image Morris. Beautiful colors, appealing mood and a perfect dof decision. I think a tiny crop from the top might be interesting but hardly worth mentioning. Love the red leaves.

I need to find this open space (although with all our wind I'm sure those leaves are headed for Carol!). Great comp. The only minor suggestion would be to darken down the bright line on the left. This is outstanding!

Great use of the plane of focus Morris. Nice details and, you are right, great color.

Morris - just beautiful - perfect comp, great colors, and ideal DOF.
That one dark leaf distracts me just a tad..

I wish i cud see colours like this

Lovely Image Morris love the way the BG compliments the FG
only nit is about the dark greenish OOF leaf which i think was ahead of the main subject in distance it's a bit distracting

Morris, I like the colour as well. Strong comp and layers achieved by the DOF chosen.

Great blend of Shapes and Colors

- tastefully done with none of the leaves in focus are past their prime

Morris:
Really vivid colors; who can walk away from this. Nicely seen and captured.
