The Leafer

By the end of october we got this winter's first snow in the Jura mountains of switzerland. The fall season has hardly begun and with the first snow fall and heavy winds it was already over. So before the fall was completely over I decided to try my luck with some snow and fall colors in the Jura Mountains of switzerland. But I wasn't really lucky since most leaves had alreay fallen from the trees. So I hiked through the woods in search for something interesting when I finally saw all those leaves laying on fresh fallen snow. That's when I got the idea for this comp. It didn't took me too long to find this nice arrangement. I just have to arrange the leafs a little bit but that was all I had to do to take this shot.

These leaves have nice textures and color and they make a nice arrangement. I like the contrast against the pure white snow. Good job. Chet

Bill, This is really nice! Great comp on this and love the fall color against the clean snow. It is always so nice if we get some snow while the fall color is good. Makes a beautiful combination.

The contrast is a little much for my taste - but I do like high contrast in some situations. This is a great shot though. I like the use of space. The colors are complimentary. As previous viewers said I like the crisp background. All in all good image. :toast:

I like the detail in the leaves! A creative way to make the most of an early end to the autumn season. This is a lovely image.
