(looks better larger i think?!)
saw this on the pathway outside this morning as i was taking the children to school...the days are rushing by so quickly and already the autumn term has started. it's good to stop and look around amongst all the havoc.. i noticed the light straight away, just think, i almost stood on this leaf.

This is really pretty and so soft. I love the bokeh and early morning light. I couldn't agree with you more about time. We just need to make ourselves slow down a bit each day. Otherwise, we miss out on all the little things...like you've captured here. :-)

Very delicate...Really beautiful autumn light. The detail in the structure of the leaf stands out very well against the out-of-focus elements in the rest of the picture. Excellent observation and realisation of the potential lying within these small objects.

such great light :) it illuminates the details on the fallen leaf so clearly. very crisp and a great representation of fall.

It looks divine in all sizes! Simply georgeus. Love slight hazy feeling in "fight" with light bursting through to get to the leaf.... Wonderful!

Looks so amazing large, you are right! The soft, hazy tones give it a real late summer feel and that lonely leaf seems to symbolise the beginning of a change in the weather. I'm also really in love with that bokeh!!
