Fall, autumn, the time of separation, of big changes, of getting ready to go huddle indoors, and the time of little deaths. We get inspired and uplifted looking at the leaves changing color in the fall because it is just too overwhelmingly beautiful to witness. So death must have a beauty in itself like all things in life do. A leaf is born out of a magnificent blossom and it dies with an explosion of color. It is always about how we choose to see things, and this leaf was a magnificent vibrant yellow, can you see it?

Beautiful monochrome – as Andy says, the out of focus background adds to the overall image. Adrian

Your artistry with the camera extends to the paper too. Captivating imagery.
PS: Water is one of my favourites, when I find myself peering through the viewfinder.
