Autumn leaves

Another couple of days with no photos taken, so back-filling from Tuesday. I've got pretty bad at managing a photo a day lately :o(

Guess it hasn't been too windy lately - it looks like most of the leaves from this tree have fallen pretty much straight down!

Beautiful mood and contrast between the fallen leaves and the branches. The only things I don't like too much are the blurred parts around the tree

Now I was just about to say I love the processing :-)

@mariolatronico @eosin @angievega Thanks for your comments - I often do a little bit of softening of the background, but took it to the max here! I can see that it might not be to everyone's taste :o)

[Phil Howcroft]

your softening technique works for me Sarah ....it really emphasises the golden carpet of leaves :)

[Sarah Horsfall]

@phil_howcroft Thanks, Phil - I think it gives it a slightly unrealy feel, too :o)

[Charlotte]

I like the softening as well. Very dreamy. :)

@d4wn Thank you, Dawn - it's one of my favourite photos from the whole year, I think :o)
