MAPLE ON GINKGO

This was taken last autumn. The Ginkgo leaves stayed on the tree longer than usual, and turned a beautiful golden yellow before they fell. Comments appreciated. Please see large version.

Most beautiful combination of colours, Albert, and a fine composition. I don't know whether you placed the maple leaf or not ( I guess it doesn't really matter !! ) but, if it's natural - very well spotted !!

The details/textures are to die for! Sharp, front to back.

Wonderful contrasting colors, Albert, with good use of the purple maple as the focal point for the contrasting ginkgo leaves.

Well seen, Albert! The lighter leaves and crisp sharpness of the leaves around the purple leaf are, unfortunately, pulling my attention away from the main subject, making the image seem really busy and chaotic to me.

A nice bit of textures and shapes Albert. I wish that there was a bit more brightness and color to the image overall. Have you tried a B&W conversion?
