Normally when I go for walks I walk in the same direction all the time. Yesterday though, my little dog Chester looked down the other direction and looked at me like he was saying "Hey Mom, lets go this way instead!" So, because I let my dogs do just about whatever they want, oh who am I kidding, they do whatever they want....:o) Anyhow we walked East and I finally found a Maple tree with pretty colors! Now you have to understand I lived in Vermont for, oh man, 48 years and I'm used to COLOR in the fall, there aren't alot of sugar maples around here where I live, so when I found this I had to take some pictures of the bright orange/red leaves. I decided to try so "artsy" thing with the photo and used the clarify on my corel paint shop to really pop out the leaves.
Tell me what you think..:o)

Hello Donna,
Strong attractive autumn colours have been captured!
Something special about autumn in Canada, not many places you can find colours as burning red as this...
A nice frame, the blue sky in the back adds colour contrast and attraction value!
Greetings,

Hi Donna,
Yes I think you made the right decision - this has to be a lovely rich fall-colour - so by all means....
Lovely shot and colours, glad you found the tree - we think here that you are surrounded by those sugar maples - no so it seems - too bad.

Fabulous depth of colour, Donna!
these are gloriously rich
I like the tight PoV and composition: really conveys the warmth of the colour!

(only a week to go now, eh?)

Hi Donna,

You've found some beautiful autumnleaves here, I like the colours, good details, sharpness and light.
Beautiful image!
TFS

Greetings, Nel

While they may be numerous elsewhere, in our area it is also rare to find red leaves in fall, such as this maple. Most are yellow, with some light orange. Good find (probably bare by now)
Cheers

The colour is beautiful.

Hallo Donna,
wunderschöne Herbstfarben. Gutes Licht!
Well done!

Hi Donna,
Those maples always have the best show, seems like. A great composition and POV. I had finally noticed some beautiful color around here, and now a nasty wind and rain this morning will take down many of the leaves.
TFS,
Karen
