The next cycle awaits

Another from my collection in Putnoe Woods at the weekend - and already the next weekend is just about upon us.

I really thought this image was much sharper than it is. I have a problem with my camera as the touch screen is not working, which means I am no longer able to magnify an image to check whether the focus was good.

I enjoyed these hanging brown leaves and pods against the green background.

Today I spent all day looking out for blinds. I only encountered spectacularly plain, uninspirational ones and didn't even take my camera out!

Postscript: I just had to change the name of this. Pod clump was really bothering me and seemed disrespectful.
Nice clear definition of theses almost dead leaves and a great background!

I thought your focus was pretty good. I like the bokeh. I tried taking some shots of blinds and wasn't very impressed with them either. Its a tough one.

Nice autumn colors and lovely bokeh, Helen.

Looks sharp to me...great capture.

This is lovely. Autumn is so lovely this year. The colours seem richer than normal. I want to just scrunch the leaves in this! They look so crisp.

A really interesting photo, though I'm not sure what I'm looking at. What is a blind please?

Hi @365projectorgjenfurj I am sorry to have confused you. This is simply a hanging leaf and seeds, in Autumn attire. My reference to blinds was in looking for an opportunity to do the mundane object challenge that is currently running - here; http://365project.org/discuss/themes-competitions/28656/new-mundane-challenge-blinds I haven't answered your question but all may now be clear - blinds take the place of curtains at a window to block out the light.

Fills the frame beautifully.

Love your composition on this shot

I really like it Helen. Bokeh too.

Your tag haha!! Wonderful shot Helen, I just love that brown on the green background and that perfect DOF. I think you are too critical of yourself ;) as this is beautiful. And "pod clump" :) I wouldn't have thought of it as disrespectful, especially coming from you, but I do like the new lovely title a lot!

very nice captured!

Wonderful composition, colors, and bokeh in this beautiful autumn capture, Helen! Fav!
Interesting to read that I'm not the only person who experiences problems deciding on titles. :-)

@maggiemae @moonmtn @linjoyce @leestevo @janemartin @helenm2016 @bokehdot @flowerfairyann @jerome @ziggy77 @gaylewood Thank you each, for your very positive reactions to this - which I wasn't too sure about. I'm always so proud to manage a bit of bokeh in my shots! All your feedback much appreciated.
