Hi Larry,
Yep mind blowing "colour!" However, as you admitted it is simply " too
common!":-(

We all as LUG photographers would see it as you did? Nothing but a massive
blast of colour with no real composition factors but a great big blob of
orange coloured leaves that any idiot with an iphone held high in the air
without one icon of composition knowledge would shoot it and rave like a mad
man ..."WHAT A FANTASTIC PHOTOGRAPHER I AM!"

And say that without one megapixel of photographic intelligence! ERGO? Just
another dimwit IPHONE MINDLESS BUTTON PUSHER! thank you! :-)

IMAGE NUMBER 2 submitted as your fall image?

BLOODY BEAUTIFUL!" :-) To be a photographer and see a scene such as this:

And here's a shooter who has a camera along side all the time!

Thank you Larry!

I may sound a tad overwhelming? I'm not, simply because this is a beautiful
moment we all appreciate for the fleeting moments it lasts!
And a "LUG CLAN" photographer who captured it simply because he carried a
camera day in and day out! It's OK Larry we wont tell them there some days
you don't have it. ;-) ;-)

 A sin we all do at times! Then without question, kick our collective ass
because we didn't have it some days! :-) Today was a classic day for Larry!
Good on you lad! :-)
cheers,
Dr. ted
