I know another Maple Leaf, however instead of looking for the perfect leaf I found this one already damp, curling and with black spots, was stuck on some water weed, then a translucent insect landed on it.

info: Many maples have bright autumn foliage, and many countries have leaf-watching traditions. In Japan, the custom of viewing the changing colour of maples in the autumn is called "momijigari". Nikko and Kyoto are particularly favoured destinations for this activity. In addition, in Korea, the same viewing activity is called "Danpung-Nori" and Seoraksan and Naejang-san mountains are very famous places for it.

The particularly spectacular fall colours of the Acer rubrum (Red Maple) are a major contributor to the seasonal landscape in southeastern Canada and in New England. Fall tourism is a boon to the economy of this region, especially in Quebec, Vermont, New Hampshire and Western Massachusetts. In the American Pacific Northwest and British Columbia it is the spectacular fall colours of Acer circinatum (Vine Maple) that draw tourists and photographers.

Thanks for looking and comments, suggestions welcome

No perfect leaf needed Wayne, this works just fine to show that autumn has surely come.

The maple really sets autumn on fire.
Nice to see that one ray of light entering your picture and the bubbles in the water.

I like the naturalness feel of this image, including the creative frame that almost seems to have been part of the scene caught by the camera. An appealing fall subject with an extra bonus of the insect. Well done.
