Time to Rest

Yet another beauty, Guy. Your latest work is astounding. Can't wait to see this on a decent monitor!

That is something else! Very cool!

Wow, the thumbnail doesn't even begin to tell the story. You have such a great eye for comps. Wonderful story here.

I like the story this tells of transition and a willingness to let go. Looks like the maples had a good year.

Great scott this one is gorgeous, the limbs seemingly reaching to cover the fall leaves

I love the maple carpet and how the branches reach out to the corners of the frame. The one thing that bothers me a bit is the perspective of the shot...I feel like I would like to see this from a lower perspective, but that would not likely introduce an unwanted BG.

Great Eye/Vision, wonderful comp, detail is superb...... and great color. Love the Title.

I love this, Guy. Beautiful composition.

Very sweet shot Guy! Definately looks like winter is comming.

Great eye Guy! That is really neat!

You have an almost unmatched talent for turning intimate scenes into wonderful compositions. A much more difficult skill than the grand scenic vista.

There's something very tender about this image. My eye keeps going to the yellow leaves nestled in the crook of the tree. Wonderful, moving piece of art.

That is NICE! A well woven pattern of leaves and branches.

Guy, one of your better ones!

Joe.

I can almost smell the decaying leaves.

That's funny, Adam. I was there with Michael Gordon and kept telling him how this smell of decaying leaves is to me an inseparable part of the "feel" of autumn.

Guy

Man, this is awesome. I love the blue/grey on the branches with all of the leafs below. Really beautiful, Guy.

Guy...great title...beautiful image. Don't think I have ever seen a maple with branches that close to the ground.

Yep, and we were there after and during some rainfall - the aroma was stimulating! Guy doesnt mention how he cloned me out of this scene after asking me to do a sexy pose in the opening

Love the image, Guy. Rather metaphorical in a number of ways. Thanks for taking me into this canyon.

That could be a 3-D puzzle! Awesome shot as usual.

Love it, Guy! You're truly a master of the intimate landscape.

Lori

Fabulous Guy!
I quess I am going to miss the Wasatch maples this year

Guy - another masterpiece of the intimate landscape... Great shot!!!!

Hey Guy, my kind of image. Well done.

Very nice Guy. The naked limbs somehow feel protective to me. Maybe it's the mother in me.... Anyway this has a soft sentimental feel to it and of course superbly composed.

Perfect capture, perfect caption, I love this. Tells quite a story and It just gives the strong feeling of the end of fall! Wonderful!

Nonono! It's coming to get me, it's hungry, it's lost all it's clothes and it wants mine!!!

I really like this. Muted and very natural. Beautiful. Larry

Wow, those branches and carpet of leaves are just awesome!!! - you are just teasing us here out East, the first signs of colour are only just showing!.

This is wonderful-as mentioned the branches look like they are reaching down to protect the leaves.Almost like a momma duck duck still trying to tuck in her babies that are already fledging. An inspiring image.

Are you familiar with Lonard Cohen's music? Because this reminds of a lyric from a song of his;

It's dark now and it's snowing
O my love I must be going,
The river has started to freeze.
And I'm sick of pretending
I'm broken from bending
I've lived too long on my knees.

Something you two have in common, you know how to tell a story, with beauty and eloquence but most of all truth. Every picture tells a story.

WOW!!! Wonderful work Guy!!!!

This one is really cool, Guy!

Great image Guy. How in the world did you get this perspective? Very unique!

Best,

Jose

This is sweet, Guy. I love how the fallen leaves in this intimate scene capture the transition of the autumn season.

Ed

Guy,
I had almost the exact comp from a shot a took last year. After reading all the positive comments, I searched throught my archives frantically looking for it. I think I deleted the whole folder. Goes to show you what I know.

Just wish there was something else I could add that hasnt already been said. Looking at this image I get the feeling that the outstreached limbs are guarding/protecting their fallen leaves. Fantastic image Guy!

Pretty cool, Guy. The tree appears to be trying to hang on to its fallen leaves.

Guy...

Love this...it makes me feel homesick for New England...very nice perspective!

Guy,

Even though this was posted long ago, I just came across it ...

Great composition; the tree does seem to be welcoming me with its branches.

Interesting colors and you even captured the wonderful patterns of the leaves.

And I for one would sure not want to sit there. I don't think those tree branches would let me go.

Carol

A very interesting effect, Guy.
Looking at your composition, something seems to be strange. Just a wonderful and always surprising nature, that continues to find a different way to show its beauty.
Thank you for posting.

Beautiful colours Guy. Really captures the autmn essence

I'd bet you might have seen this silhouetted low to the ground branch subject possibility well before leaves had dropped. This type of graphic is something I have found a few times in my 35mm SLR days. Works with both leaves and dense wildflowers. Beautiful coverage of interesting leaves here makes for a great composition. ...David
