Amazing composition - a bold, brave image that shows confidence and clarity of thought. The coolness of the colours and the dew drops speak of a crisp autumn morning and the silence of a quiet walk in the woods. Allows so much space for contemplation.
The challenge with shots like this is that it's so easy to ruin the background in post-processing. My experience anyway. Here you've done an excellent job maintaining all the subtle things that make this work. Great bokeh, minimalism, negative space, use of thirds, colors, composition, etc. etc. Nice job!
There are a lot of very good pictures this month, but this is one that for some reason grabbed me the first time through, and each successive time thereafter. It's got a lovely grace to it. A quiet elegance. Probably my favorite of the challenge.
