Magnificent Maple

Trees in full bloom fascinate me, especially trees with beautiful leaves, I like the varied combination of tree trunk, branches and leaves in this capture. Dead tree trunks leave me cold.

Albert:
Rich colors for sure. The larger version is a must as there is too much compression artifact in the smaller version to really show the beauty in this tree. Nicely captured!

As Gary said, you really do need to view the large image to take in beauty of this tree. I like how you captured it at about 7/8th of turning from green to yellow.

It's a lovely tree. I like how you've centered the trunk in the frame. That makes it feel like a formal portrait of the tree.

A lovely autumn scenic, Albert. I have no suggestions for improvement.
