Was driving away from an early morning shoot and came across this scene ... yes I am reusing a Beatles song title and yes there is a long winding road under those leaves.

Beatles? Who are they?     :wink:  Really nice capture and, literally, pure gold. Great shaft of light and pleasing scene.

Thanks Joe.  I have literally been looking for this type of scene for years and then finally just lucked out ... maybe I should get out more :)

Absolutely love this. I think my personal choice would have been to desat the yellows and reds just a bit but it's great as is.

Thank you E.J. .. I do have a tendency to be maybe a bit heavy with the saturation I'll need to keep that in mind, thanks.

Thank you Carol, I appreciate it.  The camera gear has been pretty much gathering dust for the past 18 months as I was building two acoustic guitars for my sons, but that project is now done and it's time to get outside with the camera gear more often. :)

Yes, family comes first - sounds like there will be music in your house!  :)   Now for a bit of your camera creativity.
