Hi! I really like this shot also. The bright color against the dead background makes it stand out more, and the texture is there also. I love fall, and all the color associated with it. Very nice.

Todd, I love the simplicity of this image. You captured what most of us would walk by or walk on without even noticing. The bright gold color leaf against the decay of the forest floor really pops. Well seen and captured, with really nice details.

Hi Todd, the stark contrast of the gold/brown leaf with the dark ground is striking. Fine details and color rendition. Well done.
