Lonely Leaf by skipt07

Lonely Leaf

β€œThe one red leaf, the last of its clan,
That dances as often as dance it can,
Hanging so light, and hanging so high,
On the topmost twig that looks up at the sky.”
~Samuel Taylor Coleridge
I know that you aren't supposed to place the subject in the center of your frame, but I was primarily composing for the bokeh.
beautiful colour and the bokeh is a gift as well... very nice.

@amandal - Thank you Amanda! I hope you have a happy and restful weekend as well! I am planning on going to a state park tomorrow. Hopefully the leaves will be more colorful then they are around here so I can get some reflective shots of the leaves in the water.

Skip, this is gorgeous. I love the simplicity and the way you created the bokeh to set off that single fall leaf.

The poem is perfect. The leaf looks so sad and lonely but the light in the background suggests a hope.
