Nice selective focus, Elisabeth :cool: . I like the contrast between the dark leaf and the lighter sufficiently OOF background. Nice Work !

I like the composition in this Elisabeth as well as the subdued color palette and dof decision. Beautiful work. No suggestions on my part.

Elisabeth: Excellent subject isolation and a great BG. I would be tempted to clone away the relatively sharp leaf tip just behind the main subject. I'm getting anxious for fall. >=))>

It's my favorite season too, Elisabeth! And scenes and colors like this are the reason. Wonderful work as usual. Good bokeh and light.

Oh, nice going to get the one leaf to pop out of the background. Wonderful control of dof. The background seems as important as the subject in making this image work so well. It's pleasingly soft but lots of action back there without being busy or distracting. Lovely.

This is beautiful. Living in the subtropics, I am really envious of the nice fall color shots posted here.
