Glittering
The red leaves softly blind my eyes
There in the thicket.

Looking at the crimson leaves
Tears quickly filled my eyes
I am at a loss of what to do.

Gorgeous! One question- are the leaves in the foreground sitting on a pane of glass? They're not near the lens itself, are they?

Nolando :)
No plane of glass...just good old fashioned, in your face photography :) very close to the lens.

The colors on this are spectacular. Some people might want to see the leaves a little sharper, but I think the shapes of the leaves and the colors are the main focus. looks great!
