Default There's Beauty in the Breakdown ;)

Ok i stole that title from one of my favorite songs by Imogen Heap haha but i think it's fitting since 3 out of 4 of these pics are of Fall leaves! I've been shooting people so much lately that i felt compelled to go out and photograph my favorite thing... Nature! Enjoy

the out of focus branches behind the leaves look kind of like a spider web to me
Photobucket
i love the bokeh effect in this pic

AHHHHHH I love Autumn

the fig leaves are at their end for the year

Thanks for looking,

Kimi

Very nice Kimi...I really love the colors and composition of the third shot. Are you going to be shooting snow soon?

Very Nice Kimi, I really like the 2nd one with the nice Bokeh, but all are very Fallish. l.o.l
Great colors and composition
Thanks for sharing these
Michael.

These shots are beautiful! I totally agree with you on the first one, the branches in the background look like a spiderweb to me too.

Great shots, Kimi. My favorite is the first one. Gorgeous symetrical bokeh in the background. I like how the branches in the back perfectly frame the foreground, while the unexpected color pops off the screen.

Thanks for sharing!

Jim
