Autumn Pattern

I was snooping around looking for patterns in the fallen Autumn leaves, and this was best out of several likely candidates. I believe these are walnut leaves.

Besides the color, I like your composition Preston and how the leaves seem to have some organization to them. The touch of red and orange against the yellow is also wonderful.

Very nice comp, I like the natural lines and patterns and nice sharpness.
I might cheap a bit and clone fill the upper left corner.

I like the delicate tonal changes and the many repeating patterns of the compound leaves. A nicely filled frame as well. :smile:

Preston, really like the warm natural colors and the touch of orange and red give it a very nice appeal. Beautifully seen and presented.

Nice intimate image, PB. Maybe tone down the grasses toward the lower left? Pretty minor though.

This looks so lovely on my computer screen that I feel like reaching out and touching the leaves. The arrangement is interesting and really allows one to study the inherent beauty of this little scene.

This is a beautiful arrangement of lines, patterns and color, Preston. I always find intimate scenes like this so fascinating.
