Photograph info: This photo was taken on Monday afternoon, the same day as the previous pear shot. We had lovely light and warm weather that day, ideal conditions for raking up piles of fallen leaves and jumping into them afterward... and photographing the results. :)
Camera settings and post-processing: Shot with the Canon EOS 5D
Thank you for visiting Durham Township!

On a different note, I started feeling a little sad about how people are treating each other during this presidential election season, so I designed a few tee-shirts to remind everyone that beneath our campaign buttons, we're still human beings with hearts!

The Fall Girl. Leaves in her hair, trees in her eyes.....and a little lip gloss?.....Beautiful.
Love your framing. Now, which rake did you use?
poetic!
Posted by yz on October 18, 2008 4:15 AMGreat idea and great work. I really like how the skin tones and the color of maple leaves match.

Posted by Kathleen on October 18, 2008 8:06 AMThis is wonderful! The catchlights in her eyes are really amazing...Gorgeous! The light is just perfect.
It brings back memories of the flower shots you did of me at Round Valley a few years back, only you have a much prettier model here. :)
We still don't have enough leaves down to really do much raking around here just yet. Soon though, very soon.

Kathleen, a Beautiful Pear and a Beautiful Pair all in one afternoon--that's a productive day!
I also appreciate your political commentary and have fwd'd it to others. You do a lot of hearts good, thanks #.....(where'd I put the big calculator?......)
Posted by david tinnon on October 19, 2008 11:14 AMThe catchlights in your subjects warm brown eyes make this photo...that, and the composition. Bravo. And thank you so much for the t-shirt commentary. Here, here!

Posted by Willow on October 20, 2008 6:22 AMstunning shot! the contrast from the brittle leaves to the soft skin, the simple use of colour, and the eyes... those eyes just sparkle! Awesome shot!
Posted by mark on October 20, 2008 8:12 AMFUN! Reminds me of images of people buried in sand on a beach.
Posted by Marcie on October 20, 2008 12:25 PMI love the light in the eyes. Great shot!
Posted by michael on October 20, 2008 3:55 PMWow! Stunning image! The light in the eyes is superb!
Posted by Neuroknitter on October 20, 2008 6:46 PMI only saw the top part of the photo on the screen and nearly jumped out of my skin when I scrolled down and saw the face--not because it's not a beautiful face and a great picture, but because it startled me. Unexpected.
Posted by RD on October 20, 2008 9:38 PMAdorable eyes! Very artistic shot
Posted by Dirk Essl on October 21, 2008 9:25 AMWhat a beautiful image! It is excellent in so many areas, but I just love the tones and colouring!
Posted by martie on October 21, 2008 12:35 PMThis is the loveliest portrait you've done, I think. Autumn immortal.
Posted by Beth on October 22, 2008 10:10 AMNice sentiment with the T-shirts! Love the colours and the tones, those golds are beautiful.

Posted by Ilger.nl on October 23, 2008 2:08 PMjust amazing! And creative! I might have to "steal" the idea, and take some shots of my boys in the leaves. :)
