013 - Where Fall Fell

I went out today hoping to shoot something interesting in my city, but everything kind of fell flat. I got a few images I was pretty meh about, but I figured I'd make something work or else shoot something mundane later at home. Well, I noticed our little neighborhood pond had the most ducks I'd ever seen in it, so I pulled over to maybe shoot them, but then the shallows caught my eye - piles and piles of leaves just under the surface of the water. They were bleak and starting to break down, yet I found them rather pretty! So - not the shot I would have expected to get today and maybe a little ordinary, but captures a Texas winter quite nicely.
I love the shape of these leaves and the two brown ones against the darker background. Nicely composed.

Lovely capture! They look like pin oak leaves.

Beautiful find. Who would think?

I like the warm brown pop in the dullness!

@aecasey thank you!
@kitkat365 thanks Cathy! That's such a nice thing for you to say!
@marlboromaam Thank you! I'm not sure what they are, but these leaves are everywhere!
@alophoto thank you! I'm really trying to look at the ordinary in a different way.
