Just a simple comp that I took this fall in the Olympics during the fall color season before the heavy rains started. I thought the alder trunks made a nice contrast with the vine maple leaves.

I think I'd crop down to that main "Y" in the top most maple branch. That upper group of leaves doesn't seem too sharp and it feels real "in my face". I really like the remaining three tree trunks and the pattern of leaves below.

I really like how you anchored this image with those cool leaves. I like this a lot Harald.

Thanks for the input. It did take some scouting to find some autumn leaf comp in the Olympics, but this year the vine maples were pretty vibrant in some isolated spots.
