This was taken on a very breezy October late afternoon... an overcast day filled with wind and scattered rain sprinkles.

I wanted to capture the feeling of transition yet permanance shown here by the leaves being blown (and turned over) revealing both sides of the individual leaves (particularly noticable in the silver color on the underside of the silver maple leaves to the left). Also the difference in color of the two species of maple trees... the silver maple to the left (retaining summer colors longer) and the sugar maple (leaves changing more rapidly).

While I was doing some PP of this photo in Photoshop, I had playing, in the background, the music of Fariborz Lachini... "Autumn Whispers".

"October is a symphony of permanence and change."
- Bonaro W. Overstreet

Taken hand-held, auto everything, somewhat extended 12X zoom. Some PP work to appease the inner eye.

When I see the wind blowing through the trees and the leaves turning back and forth I am reminded of the Bible verse... "You will go out in joy
and be led forth in peace;
the mountains and hills
will burst into song before you,
and all the trees of the field
will clap their hands." - Isaiah 55:12 NIV

Hi Larry. This looks like a typical Octobers day with the wind blowing. I like the movement you have captured in this shot. I can feel the wind in the trees. I see what you mean about the leaves and the different colours. well Taken TFS.

Bonjour Larry,
L'utilisation de la diagonale, opposant les couleurs, est remarquable dans la composition.
A bientôt sur TN pour de nouvelles aventures.
