Procrastination Pays!
 

Although my neighbors do not appreciate my leaf raking shortcomings I hope you will agree this shot was worth the criticism.

We had our first snow today. I guess my hope for the leaves to blow into their yards will not work now with the snow weighing most of the leaves down.

Beautiful shot!

Did you place the leaves there, or was it just some weird freaky thing that they landed just so? ;)

Good Question
 

Lets just say I "enhanced" the positioning to fit within the distance of my macro lens without placing finger marks on the light snow. :cool:

GREAT SHOT!!!!!!!!


man does that look awesome.........

...enhancement or not.......great fuckin' shot.

man....that maple leaf just sticks right out at ya'...........

Snow's a four letter word! Nice shot.

Awesome! I wish there was a bit more depth of field so some of those edge leaves werent out of focus, but its still a stunning shot!

Good shot. Bit of a tight crop on the bottom, but still a great eye grabber. Glad it's snowing on you and not me. ;-)

Very nice...gotta love that first snow.

Thanks guys.

Sailor, yes, it is amazing how such a small distance between two leaves can have an impact on the sharpness of some of the parts.

very nice...I love the red color contrasted with the white snow

that'd make a lovely christmas card!!

Really nice shot! First snow rocks.

Nice mix of colors. Good saturation. Keep it up.

wow.. that is a very nice shot. I personally love how light the snow seems towards the right of the picture.

Really nice composition of the shot. It does look placed, but that isn't a negative, just an observation.

Very Christmas Card worthy. Nice touch with the accenting border colour as well. It's nice to look at.
