A mosaic of autumn leaves as found today, no particular arrangements made...

I didn't really need the additional light, but I took a few with and without flash. This one is with flash, as the warmth of the autumn colours comes better through...
I think!

What do you think..?

The addage "Beauty lies in the eye of the beholder" is not always stereotypical, Pablo.
Your composition of fallen leaves proves it beyond doubt.
You have "seen" beauty in the natural arrangement of these leaves and captured it to share with us.
Thanks for the favour, my friend.

Hello Pablo,
This is a simple but very effective picture. I like those great details you caught with very good and well saturated colors and nice lightning. I can almost hear the "crisp" it is doing under my feet which makes the birds fly away when I’m trying to photograph them ;) Well done!

Hi Pablo,
An excellent composition of fall colors. I think you did need fill flash to pump up the color saturation. Nice detail and textures in this scene. Well done!

Hi Pablo

nicely saturated shot, i like the single green leaf curled up in the top half of the shot, adds a nice bit of contrast to beautiful rusty golden colours of the rest of the leaves.

Cheers,

Paul

Hi Pablo,
Beautiful autumnal palette. Flash had worked quite well I think, it seems to me that light came from the sun at the first glance.
Best regards, José M.

Hi, Pablo.
This has excellent texture. Exposure is also very good. Superb colors. Looks good.

Golden leaves - how do you do that, Pablo?
The colours are so brilliant, have you made the leaves of metal? Realy looks like, wonderful, bye

Hi Pablo,
A beautiful frame filling composition of the different fall colored leaves. This really gives me the warm feeling I get from the fall colors.
The flash really helped you to reduce the shadows and highlight the details of the leaves.
What a huge pile of dead leaves.
TFS,
Niek

I like the details here. The flash looks fine, though I can tell you usd it (the refelctiveness of the leaves). I can't really compare without seeing the other, though (WS). One of my favorite things to do when I can't decide, is to dial down the flash (to -1.0 or so) -- then you get a mix of natural and artificial light.

Hello pablo !
So simple but so beautiful ! A perfect autumn picture ! I love all these different colors and textures, they are making a wonderful pattern. I think using the flash was an excellent idea, as it enhances the beautiful colors of the leaves. Very well done !

Hi Pablo,

.... I think this a very good composition of these fallen autumnleaves. Colours are beautiful and warm, and it looks very natural. Just as I would find it when I would walk trough a forest. Beautiful image!

Hi Pablo,
A simple image and yet very attractive to the beholder.The use of the flash has made the colours stand out very vibrant and deep.A nice idea....TFS.
Regards, David

This is a nice strong image Pablo. I love all these colors. My first reaction was that it seemed a little bright and/or contrasty...maybe it is the flash making the whole image too evenly bright or else it may be the contrast with the white frame that I reacted to. I'm not sure. It is really sharp and interesting. I love fall leaves.

Hi Pablo!
I love the autumn colours even on the ground. Looking to your picture I can hear the sound of the foot smashing it walking on the leaves. I have my own post to celebrate this nice moment from the nature and it is a picture that I like so much, also because I have nice memories from the Canadian autumn. We don´t have autumn colours like in the northern, so I think that the fall is always a nice season to travel to the north. Thanks for sharing this beauty.
Regards,
Zeca

Hello Pablo,
The colour of nature is fully seen here in Autumn!
good clarity with original colour of the fallen leaves
nice photo
cheers
Tony

Hi Pablo,

A good POV of the fallen leaves, the photo has a good composition, sharpness and nice colors. Thanks for sharing.

Pierre

I think it is a perfect shot! The flash remains natural, like on a sunny day. Maybe with mirrors, we can have the same effect, but it is complicated to do.

Hi Pablo,
Wonderful shot and such gorgeous and vibrant colours of the dried leaves. Looks fantastic. Great use of flash lighting and the image is tack sharp with neat details. Excellent POV and composition. Kudos.

Hallo Pablo
I lovely scene of autumn you have captured here. You have presented the colours of autumn beautifully, in a well composed shot, with great details on the leaves. The textures are displayed beautifully. I think a scene like this we miss so often because we tend to look pass the beauty of it, just because it is an everyday thing we see. – A heap of leaves, no matter what season, it is there. You end your footnote with a question and my answer is: I enjoyed looking at this one, it is much appreciated. Thanks for sharing and enjoy your day.
Kind regards
Anna
