Nice, simple composition

[Ellen Bogenschutz]

Very nice, the texture of the walkway really sets off the leaf and shadow so well. Superb composition with the darkness on the left. I like your framing, too.

Hope that's not a reflection of your feelings these days. It is beautiful though

[Kathy]

Well spotted.

Beautiful composition and B+W capture.

Love your caption, the crispness of the subject and its shadow, and the gritty contrast with the sidewalk.

Thank you to one and all! Excavating boxes in the attic has me a bit achy tonight! I shall return to look at your pictures tomorrow!

@dustyloup No, it's just a play in words on the fact that the leaf is both a shadow of the tree it once belonged to and the shadow is well, a shadow of the leaf!

[Louise]

Well done, looks great on black
