Yikes! That is some heavy duty cyan color on the ice. I love cattails. I guess they are a weed. Never really considered that. They are usually quite photogenic.

The colors are gorgeous in this one. An unconventional autumnal feel. And perhaps I read it wrong, but to me the water looked more like ice, which gave it a kind of stillness that I found arresting as well.

The water has more color than the leaf. :-) I like the tension lines that are formed at the contact points where the leaf meets the water.

Ha. I thought I'd managed to scrape by with next-to-last . . . but then the Brown was disqualified :(

It was stretching its wings, Sid. And quite dark AND I was shooting into the only light source. So I had the ISO super high. Even so, I knew it was poor quality at best, but it was cool to watch. This is a flying fox bat and they are quite large, especially with the wings extended.

I love your image very playful and unusual. I also like the autumn colors and your edits. Very well done, my favorite of the challenge.

The squirrels are fun and well placed. Some of the other post work is borderline for me (the swirly leaves and tree bark). Good luck.
