I deeply admire his compositions. The way of framing the leaves to stand out from the bottom of the image, is just fantastic. The color and textures are wonderful. I always say it because I firmly believe ... is a master of photography. A role model. Greetings. Adela

Seraphine from San Francisco, United States

absolutely beautiful, although i normally don't like anything with thorns or stickers because i always get the worse end of those.

7 Dec 2009 12:59am

Denise from Duncannon, United States

Gorgeous Fall colors. The leaves here are gone..... Snowed yesterday, I want Spring....

7 Dec 2009 1:00am

@Denise: They tell me that a major virtue for photographers is patience.

MontereyJohn from Salinas, California, United States

You are on a roll with these fall shots. The warm colors are especially tonight as we await our first storm of the season on The Central Coast.

7 Dec 2009 2:24am

@MontereyJohn: Thanks, John

Steve Rice from Olympia, United States

A beautiful find.

7 Dec 2009 3:03am

Scott F. Schilling from San Martin, United States

Wonderful color and I like this close up view and composition! I also like the border that you used around the photograph! Great work and it is nice to see Paul back!

7 Dec 2009 4:45am

@Scott F. Schilling: Thanks, Scott. I was quite worried about Paul.

Hiro from Kyoto, Japan

Nice crop of autumn leaves with beautiful different colors.

7 Dec 2009 12:18pm

Jeremie from Brooklyn, New York, United States

Wouhaou, I love this still photography whereas I'm usually not a fan of this kind. The composition and the nuances of colors are great.

7 Dec 2009 7:27pm

@Jeremie: Thank you. Glad to have made the connection through dj.

Gary Hart from California, United States

This is really nice, Jack. You're a master at finding these "little" scenes.

8 Dec 2009 6:36pm

@Gary Hart: Thanks, Gary. A sense of intimacy is magnetic for me. The Nikon 14-24mm lens has received rave reviews. However, I wonder if such a purchase would make sense with the kind of photography to which I am attracted. The Nikon 24-70mm is my major workhorse, a truly fabulous lens. This shot was taken with a Nikon 70-300mm lens, which is a consumer lens but has been very well received.

dabbler from Minneapolis, United States

Love the rich red - beautifully framed and processed. (I was reading your reply above, did you used a tripod for this with your tele/zoom lens?)

8 Dec 2009 7:33pm

@dabbler: Nope; handheld.

Magda from Vancouver, Canada

So glad to hear that Paul Williams is back!!! :) It's been a long time since his last post (I remember he had some health issues.... I hope he is doing well)
What a beautiful close up! The colours are fantastic! Well done

10 Dec 2009 1:24am

Bill Laing from Pacific Northwest, United States

Wonderful close-up. Fall colors were wonderful this year.

11 Dec 2009 4:08am

Jacqueline from Montréal, Canada

This photo is very beautiful and I like also the edges of the photograph...(I wonder how you get that...) It looks 3 dimensional... its amazing!

11 Dec 2009 11:07pm

@Jacqueline: Merci. OnOne software has a plug-in called PhotoFrame. There are well over a hundred frames you can put around your photograph; and there are tons of ways to modify each frame.

Barbara from Florida, United States

You have a great eye for composition. Superb color and texture.
Great to hear another one of us has returned. I'll pay a visit.
