I work in Washington, DC. I took this photo of leaves on a tree outside my office building before work on Friday morning. Comments, feedback welcome.

Hi Walter. The deep red color is gorgeous, especially against the green background. Overall I like this because of the deep, rich colors although I would like to see a strong element to focus upon.

I also love the colors. Since only one area is sharp and that is dead center I think the photo would be much stronger if the in focus area was offset from center a bit.

Glad to see you posting Walter. You must be important to have a window in your office.

The colors are great. I like the touches of green also- almost gives it a Christmas feel.

The center of the stems are dead center in the frame. I think it might be more interesting with about 20% off the right side and maybe 10% off the bottom.

Its not so much that I have a window as much as that the landscaping is immaculate. I walk the grounds most mornings as I park at one building and work in another. This affords me the chance to look for things like this on a daily basis.

Thanks for all the feedback.

Nice deep, rich saturation for a nice image.
