Description
A couple-three weeks ago I walked around the neighborhood with my camera, on a mission to work on macro shots. I got some pretty good ones, which was encouraging!
These maple leaves were such an unusual color for June ... I couldn't resist them!
(That smudge on the left side of the main leaf isn't a postwork artifact ... the leaf really did have that much color variation!)

Maple is so not what I would think of this time of year--the color is so special!!
Great eye to see this! Wonderful capture
The fence is the perfect color to showcase the color of the leaves. This is a beautiful reminder to us of how pretty autumn will be.
Nice capture and colour, well done..
YOU, made a very beautiful and elegant capture here, Tara. It is so detailed and with very lovely colors.
pretty :)
Ah good. I get to use the word minimalist:) [often interpreted as a reaction against Abstract expressionism and a bridge to Postmodern art practices]. Love the simplicity of your composition... Very nicely done.
Like the colour in this. Great work.
My kind of photo. Nicely composed as well.
lovely shot against the wood backdrop
The red veins are a treat. I have seen some varieties that display different colors throughout the year but this one is lighter than most. Lovely shot.
Lovely Macro work.. This is beautiful to look at.. A really fine job.. The colours, excellent. :-) Rob
How lovely this is, yes, simple and elegant...great colours!

A Beautiful Photographic Moment to Meditate.
warms a thought against the colors wonderful capture warm hugs, Linda Kaye
Gorgeous Tara!!
You know, I looked at this and wondered if it's a Japanese Maple...they make use of a lot more xantophyl (or whatever the red pigment is called) than the familiar chlorophyl...but I can't really be sure. The leaves aren't as skinny and Japanese-ish, so it might be a Sugar Maple, or a rare Seattle Random Neighborhood Maple. At any rate, it's incredibly gorgeous, and I do love the color variations. I wonder if it's due to temperatures? Maples tend to shift colors quite a lot if there's any sort of so called "disturbance in the force." I remember learning THAT from my childhood. The colors in this are superb, as is the overall composition. This rocks!
Beautiful color coordination, and the composition is excellent! Great find, Tara!
Indeed, not what you would expect from the June season... but nature always has it's own secrets and agenda... what a sensational colour, and the contrast of the background is delightful!
very beautiful compostion. lighting and leaves
OMG.... Those colours are amazings specially with the brown background!!!
I love this compo! Great colours, Clive
