The beauty is in the details. This great shot of a few brown and red autumn leaves fallen on to one of those bracket mushrooms or toadstools that grow off the side of fallen barks, is a study in showing just enough. We can see the great textures of the leaves and the mushroom, the bright red colour of the one leaf, and the rest is beautifully out of focus. There are hints of a rocky ground and the woods surrounding us, but only a hint, and that makes this image better.

If you must admire autumn leaves, it might as well be a lot of them, on lots of trees, in a vast landscape. That and the strong composition make this a great picture to behold.

You’ve seen a million pictures of autumn leaves before, but what makes this one special is the red door in the distance, outside the depth of field of the shot. Excellent touch that adds a sense of place and some intrigue.
