Sooo Beautiful, it went into my favorites. I love the leaves in the water and you have taken it beautifully. The red is amazing and the colors in the depth of the water are a beautiful contrast. Alison

Very nice capture John and great clarity, only one thing, i wish if it wasn't perfectly centered like this, but this doesn't mean it is not nice by all the ways, regards,

very nice -- the red looks very good against the muted green below the surface -- somestimes the best ones come along when we are not looking for them, as happened here .. K

Wow! I have also added this image to my favorites! The contrast between the opacity of the leaf and the transparency of the water is wonderful-
Best regards,

The water made and excellent background for this beautiful leaf. We never know when a great picture will come floating by. Don.

As always John, I'm late to the party. When do you post these when I'm sleeping?

Everyone else grabbed all the 'good' words, but what the heck...

GREAT SHOT! I love the detail in this, beautiful close up shot. Colors and everything came out perfect. I can't think of a thing I'd change with it.

Here's an idea for you:

Try and duplicate this shot using all different types of leaves on the water. Use different colors etc. Print them all up the same size and mount them somehow using mats or something. I think it would make a great large (poster size) collage that would look wonderful hanging on the right wall...

Congrats, and take care...

Anthony

Hi John, thanks for your comment on my pics.

I was drawn to this picture because it is first and foremost a Maple Leaf, which is our national symbol here in Canada. I'm even more proud of it after the recent US election.

From what I've heard, such deep red leafy colours are only found in northern climates. In tropical areas, they only get the standard green and autumn yellows. If this is the case, that makes it more special and we shouldn't take this rare colour-change opportunity for granted.

Keep up the outstanding work.

Pradeep

Wonderful shot. The leaf is perfectly oriented, and the contrasting background really makes it stand out. Nice work.
