Very symbolic and helpful as well. It has been longer for my wife than I. I have been back east. She had forgotten what an oak leaf looked like. She just asked yesterday too! It is a symbolic reminder that fall is coming to all. Fall to all.....HAPPY!

Hi Silke,

Very artistic presentation of this oak leaf. Another thing I haven't seen since leaving the east coast. I like the colors and the lighting and it looks sharp enough to me.

Hi Silke,
so very well seen, wonderful back lighting has produced superb shadows against the back of this leaf. You have the very essence of Autumn (or fall!) in this one. Beautiful colour too. Very well done, you found art lying around at your feet.

Silke, this is just great!
It's like looking at someone in a tent when the light is on inside! The colours, patterns, ground debris, all say autumn, AUTUMN!
Well done!

Kind regards,
Bev :-)

Hello Silke

Your simple autumn compositions are beautiful and artistic.The lighting in this shot makes the shot.The way it illuminates this oak leaf is wonderful and bathes it in the warm glow that is typical of early autumn.The colours are natural and autumnal.A fallen leaf that has changed colour ,lying on the ground...tells the whole story.Autumn is upon us.TFS

Hi Silke,
The nice lighting showing the veins of the leaf structure and shadow of the grasses makes this shot. Nice soft light. Beautiful golden color in the leaf. Fall is always great!

Nice composition but I have some restriction about a national symbol shown on ground if I am right.

Hi Silke,
And Gold it is, much better than that heavy metallic version :)
I think the warm light here that casts well defined shadows across the leaf, makes it great..
Well done!

Bonjour Silke, c'est tout simple mais très poétique cette belle feuille morte en contre jour. Dommage que l'extrémité du pétiole soit out!! félicitations, Didier.

Hi Silke,
I love the simplicity, the colors and the way the sun is shinging.

P.S. Here is a smiley face for you! I ran out of them & didn't know why until Nick & Richard helped me.
