Like flames upon an altar shine the sheaves;
And, following thee, in thy ovation splendid,
Thine almoner, the wind, scatters the golden leaves! .................. Longfellow

Many thanks for the kind words on my bridges, I'm sure I have one or two more hiding on the hard-drives that might be worth airing at some point.

In the meantime this is from a walk around Hollow Ponds in Walthamstow the other day. Lots of trees with golden leaves but this one had a bit of added interest.

Exif as shown, this time. Tripod and remote release was used.

Lovely light through those leaves. Good inclusion of the girl, does give more interest to the shot. She is probably texting so furiously here that she didn't even know you were there LOL. Like the title. Moira

This really is a very pleasing image, Dave, both visuallt and technically. The way she is shielded and protected by the strength of the tree, the light illuminating the leaves, which are as autumnal as you will see anywhere. Great result.

A pretty image with the backlit leaves and trunk nicely composed. However, the figure provides the essential focal point and interest, giving a very contemplative mood to enhance the still and autumnal feel. The FG shadows nicely help frame the figure.
