We have an ornamental pear tree on our back patio that fills it up with leaves every fall. Spotted the underside of this one and thought it needed to be a pixel star. All comments welcome.>=))>

Those are some amazingly gentle pastel colors. Neat shot, Bill.

Good eye and image, Bill. Pear leaves have extraordinary fall color, but I've never seen one with such soft pinks and greens.

Hi Bill,
Interesing colors, but I like it. The tight crop is also very good choice.

Pastels are rather rare in autumn foliage so I find these both lovely and unique. Kinda shows off the gentler side of Mother Nature. Very nice.

Bill - Nice contrast with the main leaf displaying some real soft pastel shades. Good find.

Bill:

Beautiful color. So envious that you can shoot this in your yard. I have to travel a long way for subjects like these
