Maple Leaf & Moss
I guess everyone got a similar image in their files, but I thought I would share this one because it reminds me of Autumn & besides it makes a pleasant change from a fungi image.

I hope all our American friends are having a wonderful thanksgiving.

Best Regards
Matthew

Actually I don't have a similar image but I would love to have this one! Great colours and I also like the contrast of textures between the moss and the leaf.

Simple yet beautiful and well composed. A fine photo Matthew.

I've always been a fan of mosscapes, this is a fine image nicely lit and simply composed. Can't say I have a maple leaf on moss, but do have others featuring objects on moss. Maple leaves aren't exactly thick on the ground over here.

Pleasant and well-composed. Great detail in the moss and the leaf. I like the variations in the leaf's color - it nicely plays off of the uniform green background.

I love the colors, and the mix of colors. The only thing that would improve this image to me would be to remove the few spots of glare on the leaf.

Very nice juxtaposition of shapes, textures and colors. I wonder if you used a polarizer and it didn't quite take out all of the glare?

Matthew,

Might be a fairly common shot but have captured this scene as good as the best of them. Well done.

Sweet shot. I'd love to have such a nice shot but haven't found the right bed of moss yet!
