Fall Song

The nights have gotten a lot colder up here in the North. I have recently noticed an increasing amount of beautiful reds and yellows that have captured my attention in the tree's leaves lately and was inspired to make this fallish scene. The intention here was to shoot for photo realism and though my final piece didn't quite turn out the way I had in mind, it's still ok. The more I played I ended up with more of a painted feel to the picture which adds to the warm feel I was orginally trying to create in the first place.
