Maple tree in early autumn, I loved the shading and variation of the leaves as they transitioned from summer green to fall red. Any critiques would be greatly appreciated!

Good R&G theme match IMO. I'd prefer a tighter composition, I think, with less open space between the leaves.

Beautiful collection of fall leaves, Scott. There certainly is a lot of variety of colors and shadings in these leaves. I like the clarity of focus on the one center leaf. This image would make a great "wallpaper" on the computer. :smile:

I like the back-lit quality and the patterns. I am wondering how this would have looked with less depth of field and more contrast. But it is a nice, subtle image just as it stands.
