Comment by streetpigeon: Tender and fragile scene, almost imploring, as the branch reaches out in support of the leaves, as if offering us a peek of the workings of the world. The leaves' colors are entrancing. The swirling gray background nicely sets them off. Good eye.
Comment by MaryO: I like shallow DOF images like this where the twig is coming at me from an enveloping bokeh background. Very wintry feel to this one.
