Sheesh Patrick, shot them so well, I'm rubbing my arms like I got poked !!

Your second shot is just a simple shot of two red leaves, but for me, because it's so simple and your Bokeh leaves nothing to pull my glaze off them, it really makes you looks at the shapes of them and the different patterns , Just beautiful.

Your third made me rub my arms even more YIKES .. And I like the concept of the single leaf..but I think the second has a stronger appeal.

Good set Buddy,

Vin

I agree with you Vin, the 2nd isbetter than the last. I think the last has the leaf twisting in such a way as to not be able to see it completely and it is sort of washed out...thanks for looking

You've chose a rather prickly subject and presented it with excellent clarity....Ouch!!!

That first shot of the thorns is spectacular! The mood of the picture is really cool.

Nice shots patrick, especially the red leaves. The contrast and bokeh really set it off.
