wilson you have a serious problem. im sick of you constantly finding amazing photographs every direction you turn!

Wilson, I can only "click" on 7/7

nice 6/7 !!

Very nice catch!

Does it make sense to present the same theme taken at the same day when you are already presenting the "rules"? No - so my try will stay in the drawer while admiring your result... RE

Cristina, Chips, Paul, Nick, Wim, Masimo, Pitman, and Reiner, thanks for your feedback.

 

Paul, just in case you weren't joking around, let me reassure you that it is indeed unmanipulated. I'll give you a pictorial run down.

 

First, I was at my kid's soccer game (Lou Ann, here he is)...

...then I saw this tree behind a goal (this was at Lynnwood Sport Complex across the street from Alderwood Mall)...

...by half time, I was shooting leaves. This is 2 frames before I got the final version. This earlier shot was taken with the sun off about 30 degree to the bottom (this also answers Stephen and Alec's question, it was very sunny.) The final version had the sun right behind the leaf.

 

^_^

Nice work, great eye and excellent presentation. Hangin' in there....

Hi Wilson, I like the story ''behind the photo!'' I think there is a lot of good photos having a similar story, but the difference is the person behind the camera that's where you make the difference! Bravo

Very nice composition, Wilson.

I love this shot, the orange and blue work great together, and the white of the sun makes the background very interesting. Very nicely done.

Great colours. Wonderful to see the fine structure of the leave and the light which surrounds it. Congratulations Wilson!7/7

This season will get fun with your pictures! Just perfect like it is.

Beautiful autumn sensation !

Just can't say anything more than you got it all right on this one. These past few days in Seattle have been great for fall photos.

I sure wish we had some good fall colors here in Fort worth but none. I really enjoy the colors here as well as the light radiating around the isolated leaf

...thanks for your kind feedback. Appreciate them all. ^_^

Great shot and love the focus being on the one leaf. Love the story of the evolution of this photo and how just a few feet away you were close but not quite there.
