Doona I like the colors of the leafs, the background and how you selected to have just part of the pic in focus, very well done, it speaks of fall and the beauty of it!!! #11767

Donna, love the blaze of orange, good shot. #19682

Sharon E. Lowe level-addict May 26, 2019

Donna - another great shot! You and I think alike when it comes to autumn colors - I do very few full trees and instead focus on the leaves, especially with blue sky behind. #19701

You certainly captured the beauty of the fall colors, and the dark stem gives it balance and contrast. Love it!

I'm letting my imagination run wild with the thought of that party you mentioned.lol #19741

Carolyn M. Fletcher level-classic May 26, 2019

Great shot, Donna, and I want in on this party!! We could find a point that's central to all of us (that would probably be my house) and all meet and party! I could maybe provide a sunset or two..haha. #19742

Shelley Sanders May 26, 2019

This is wonderful Donna, the color the angle, the abstract feel! #19746

Hi Ma, I have a good idea, Maybe we can have a spring break party down in Florida... I hear it's the place to be that time of the year, besides, I need a new bikini and a tan. The pictures would end up being like an MTV bash!! What do you think about that. You can help us with the Motels and good restaurants.!! Thanks for the comment on my picture too!! I bet that you miss of the beautiful colors up here!! #19754

Donna R. Moratelli May 26, 2019

Carolyn, Thank you for the invitation. That sounds like fun . How bout Florida. Come on' I'll get a bikini for you TOO!! #19755

Thanks Shelly, Abstracts are a lot of fun to shoot. This was a great way to capture the fall feeling without taking in a lot of otherwise dull scenery. I appreciate the comments!! #19756

Damian P. Gadal May 26, 2019

You forgot the throw in "chance of darkness in the evening"...

Very nice - you captured the essence of fall, why bother with clutter! #19766

Kathleen Clemons May 26, 2019
