Near the beginning of autumn, I noticed this spot of fall color tucked away in a tree, and lit up by the sun.

All feedback is welcome and appreciated.

Pertinent technical details or techniques:

1/400 sec, f/8, ISO 640, 300mm
Editing in Lightroom (crop, burning, plus clarity, saturation, and sharpening adjustments)

Mark: I love this kind of light. It really highlights the main leaf and the color on its end. Well seen, composed and captured. >=))>

Mark, the lighting and the touch of color let your main subject show well. Nicely seen.
