Albert,

A wonderful, intimate leaf study! The color of that leaf is unique! I just love the warm and cool combination of colors and tones. Beautifully seen and captured! The sharp details in the large view are amazing! Well done sir!

Only wish.... maybe a tad more room on the bottom? Otherwise this is excellent!

And a Happy Holiday season to you and yours.

Lon

Absolutely love how that bleak leaf stands out against the other colorful ones, really nice find of you! I think I would suggest a small crop from the right, because I feel that the grey looking lrc interferes with the main grey leaf, diminishing its impact.

I'll bet you just walked out your backdoor for this one Albert! sad

No nits from me, it's a real eye grabber from thumbnail through large version. The overall cyan cast speaks winter to me.
Best to you and yours this year, too.

I really like the color, the texture and the sharpness of the leaves. This is very well composed.

This is a fine image of oaks and birch(?) leaves. I really like the color combination but especially the colors of the oaks themselves. There is great tonal richness here which makes me suspect that it would work as a B&W as well. The LARGE version is a must see to best appreciate this. I initially thought a crop from the left would be good because the leaves in the right half are more interesting and because of the unusual format. But who says what's an unusual? Good job on this.

The large version is a real treat , Albert. This is a beautiful arrangement of oak leaves along with that solitary cottonwood leaf. I really like the color palette here. Happy Holidays to you also.
