Nice color palette. The leaves in the foreground contrast nicely with the background.

The orange and green tones are a wonderful match. Also, nice work keeping those leaves steady during the 15 second exposure. Very nice!

Great shot, Michael. Can't believe that the leaves were steady for 15 seconds.

Great color contrast - leaves don't look to have blurred to much.

Fascinating perspective, Michael. The sat/unsat contrast really works well here.

Exquisite, Michael. The glow you achieved with the subtle backlighting of these leaves is superb. Can certainly see the need for the f64 aperture; this had to be a challenge to get the hyperfocal distance just right.

Lovely composition, and the leaves just burst off the screen. Very enjoyable.
