I like shooting an up-close of fall colored leaves in Sep/Oct. Today leaves were gathered while returning home from the coffee shop. I added a fern frond for accent and color contrast. While setting up my tripod, I spotted a small feather that looked like a nice addition. Not a classic landscape scene. Ken S

Beautiful image, Ken - I like the contrasting colors and the textures between the leaves and the feather.

I like this a LOT. Besides the fine IQ, there's some solid-feeling about the way everything seems to lead down and settle in the LRC. Keeper!!

Whoa!! That's impressive! I love it! Just the only nit is the wisp of white in the very center of the frame. Wisk that away, and my goodness, what a stunning image of Fall.
