Hello Silke,
Wonderful red leaves (=love!) to mark your celebration today. We heard about this Jewish festival on the radio this morning! I love your composition with the leaves sharply in focus and in lovely colours set against the blue sky.
TFS and best wishes, Ulla

...and you did it without over saturation of the sky, leaving the reddening of the leaves as still the focus. Super! It is a tough balance which you have accomplished. And quotes from Scripture for a title. Wonderful.

Hello Silke,
Good shot with a good theme and the very suitable Ecclesiastes quote made use of by Pete Seeger. I like the song a lot, religion apart.
You have made a fine composition of Canada's national emblem in a technically superb shot.
Well done and have a nice weekend,
Ivan

These leaves are just beautiful, Silke!
The light is excellent and the leaves display well against the soft blue sky!

My mother-in-law went to Canada many years ago and brought me some maple leaves which I pressed and turned into a picture for her. Sadly, and through no fault of hers, the picture got broken during a furniture move. This photograph has stirred my memories!


Best wishes,
Bev :-)

Hi Silke,

Simple and beautiful. The color of the maple leaves is perfect and they are wonderful against that shade of blue of the sky. Marvelous composition.

Great autumn red color. Good detail & these maple leaves look great against the blue & greys of your BG.

There is something about the maturing red maple leaves that leaves me deeply fascinated with them, Silke.
This is a highly artistic shot of some of them seen against the deep blue sky through your lens.
Thanks for sharing this lovely image and best regards.

Well anyway this is a quintessentially Canadian post if ever i saw one! Classic Maple red against a Canandian blue sky...very nice, composition works well. Still waiting for Autumn's colours here...i am getting impatient!
