Hanging on

Most of the leaves have fallen now. A week of gales as well as cold frosty nights means that the
tapestry of colours which bedecked the woodlands and parks is disappearing. A shower of leaves
fall onto the footpath as I was stopped at traffic lights this morning. Soon the branches will be bare
and the trees will reveal their naked selves.
This was just a quick dog walk shot, taken while I took Fudge down the road before work. The morning
sunshine gave way to dull skies and a cold wind later in the day.

That's very effective use of lighting; the sun (or what remained of it) was just the right intensity to get a balance between opacity and transparency.

Nice contrast between the warm, back-lit leaf, and the cool blue sky. V

Yes it is hanging in there .... for the moment. You have separated the leaf nicely from its background.
