 I drive by this tree every morning when I drop my daughter off at school, and this particular day I noticed the bright colors at the very top. Its even more beautiful when autumn is in full swing!

George the Maple was never able to get over the fact that he was the first one of his peer group to start to change. His parents always told him that it would happen one day, but to be the only one in his lawn to grow Red there was an embarrassment in the locker room. It didn't help that he knew everyone would go through it eventually.

Years later, his revenge was sweet, as the leaves began to fall, and he was one of the last to lose them.

Good eye for an interesting subject. I think this might have been improved initially by cropping most of the sky above the clouds -- not much happening up there and the color is not that interesting. A smaller f-stop would also have helped separate the tree from the background. This composition also gives it a bit of a snapshot feel; a wider or tighter angle might have helped explore the subject a bit more (the tree in context with the whole streetscape and a single burst of red, or a tight telephoto shot on just the top branches showing the contrast between red and green).

Interesting capture of this tree. However, the framing just comes off to me as odd. A little tight on the sides, and too much sky at the top.
